- The 2026 World Cup final will feature the tournament’s first-ever halftime show, headlined by Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
- Bookmakers are offering prop bets on opening songs and surprise guests — early favorites: BTS to open with “Hooligan,” Shakira with “Waka Waka,” Madonna with “Bring Your Love,” and guest odds favor Burna Boy and Coldplay’s Chris Martin (Justin Bieber is a longer shot).
