The 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in the United States is set to be one of the most ambitious entertainment spectacles in tournament history, with a star-powered lineup featuring global names like Katy Perry leading the show.
The ceremony will take place at Los Angeles Stadium (SoFi Stadium) on June 12, ahead of the USA vs. Paraguay match, marking the final stop of a historic three-country opening celebration across Mexico, Canada and the United States.
Unlike previous World Cups, FIFA has broken tradition by staging three separate opening ceremonies. In America, the lineup is expected to blend pop, hip-hop, Afrobeats and global crossover sounds with LISA, Anitta, Rema and Tyla.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony setlist in the United States featured a star-studded lineup led by Tyla and Future, delivering a high-energy mix of global hits and FIFA-curated performances at Los Angeles Stadium.
The ceremony marked a major shift in World Cup entertainment. Alongside Future, the stage also included performances from artists such as LISA, Anitta and Rema, all contributing to the official music campaign.

The songs performed during the ceremony in the United States are:
- Game Time by Future and Tyla
