FIFA has lined up a catalog of artists to perform ahead of kick-off at the opening games featuring hosts Canada, Mexico and the United States.

Global superstars Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla will headline the celebrations at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with additional world-renowned artists still to be announced. 

The opening ceremony at Mexico City Stadium will bring together some of the most exciting voices in global music. Those who will take the stage in a powerful performance to bring the sound of the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album to life include Alejandro Fernández, Belinda, Danny Ocean, J Balvin, Lila Downs, Los Ángeles Azules, Maná and Tyla.

Global music stars will help bring that story to life, with Alanis Morissette, Alessia Cara, Elyanna, Jessie Reyez, Michael Bublé, Nora Fatehi, Sanjoy, Vegedream, William Prince and more among the artists performing at the opening ceremony in Toronto. 

FIFA will seek to encourage fans to take their seats early for the opening ceremonies, which are scheduled to start 90 minutes prior to kick-off at the three games. According to planning materials seen by The Athletic, the Mexican ceremony is currently scheduled to last 16 minutes and 30 seconds, while both the U.S. and Canadian shows are slated for 13 minutes each.
