Who else is performing at the World Cup final halftime show?
In addition to Bieber, other confirmed performers include Madonna, Shakira, BTS, Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus featuring Coldplay, and some select Sesame Street cast puppets.
When is the World Cup final halftime show?
The World Cup final is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, beginning at 3 P.M. ET at MetLife Stadium. How long the first half might take can vary, but close to 45 minutes later is a good estimate. The show is set to last for about 11 minutes, since the halftime break is not supposed to last longer than 15 minutes.
The game is being broadcast across major television channels, so viewers can watch the show along with the match. For streaming, Hulu is providing live TV viewing through FOX and FS1, but a standard subscription won’t provide access. You must subscribe to Hulu + Live TV.
