The halftime show for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final featured a star-studded lineup to celebrate the end of the soccer tournament.

Although the score at halftime for the match between Spain and Argentina was 0-0, things were more exciting on the pitch when Madonna’s “Music” started playing.

In a pre-recorded segment, Madonna brought her disco to the soccer tournament finale, dancing atop a buggy being driven by Brazilian soccer legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

Madonna and the soccer stars made their way through the tunnel and appeared live at the New York/New Jersey Stadium in New Jersey.

Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel took the stage with the Muppets, followed by a performance by BTS with their hit song “Dynamite.”

Jason Sudeikis made a cameo as his character Ted Lasso from Apple TV’s comedy hit alongside series co-creator and actor Brendan Hunt. They were both tasked with introducing Justin Bieber, who, with a guitar in hand, performed for thousands of fans at the event.
