The 2026 FIFA World Cup will conclude in spectacular fashion with one of the most ambitious closing ceremonies in the tournament’s history, as football and global entertainment come together on the world’s biggest sporting stage.

FIFA has confirmed a star-studded lineup featuring Hollywood icon Tom Cruise, streaming sensation IShowSpeed, British pop legend Robbie Williams, Grammy and Oscar-winning singer Jennifer Hudson, global music star Nicole Scherzinger, and Italian superstar Laura Pausini. The ceremony will take place before the World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium, celebrating the end of the first-ever 48-team FIFA World Cup.

One of the biggest talking points is the inclusion of IShowSpeed, whose rise from internet content creator to one of the world’s most recognizable streaming personalities has been remarkable. With millions of followers across social media and a well-known passion for football, Speed’s appearance reflects FIFA’s effort to connect with younger audiences and embrace the digital era of sports entertainment. His performance will make him one of the first major streaming personalities to feature live at a FIFA World Cup closing ceremony.

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise will make a special appearance, adding further excitement to an already impressive lineup. Meanwhile, Robbie Williams, Laura Pausini, and Nicole Scherzinger are expected to deliver live musical performances, while Jennifer Hudson is set to perform the United States national anthem ahead of the final.

FIFA says the ceremony will celebrate the journey of all 48 participating nations and highlight the unity, diversity, and passion that have defined the tournament across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Fans attending the final have been encouraged to arrive early to experience the full pre-match spectacle.

With football’s greatest prize about to be decided, the closing ceremony promises an unforgettable blend of music, culture, celebrity, and sport, ensuring that the 2026 FIFA World Cup ends with a celebration worthy of the world’s biggest football tournament.
