Episode Details

The 2026 World Cup final is almost here, and FIFA just unveiled a star-studded, globe-trotting closing ceremony set to electrify fans before the championship match. Featuring Grammy winner Laura Pausini, Tony winner Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams, internet sensation IShowSpeed, and a surprise “special appearance” by Tom Cruise, the show also includes Jennifer Hudson singing the U.S. national anthem. Produced by the same team behind the 2022 Qatar ceremonies, this 15-20 minute spectacle—scheduled for 1:30 PM ET on July 19th at MetLife Stadium—will celebrate the 48 teams’ journey across North America, with fans invited to actively participate. Don’t miss it: the grand finale is just 90 minutes before the crowning of the new world champions.
