The official FIFA World Cup soundtrack brings together global music stars to celebrate the world’s biggest soccer tournament.
FIFA has unveiled a star-studded lineup of artists set to power the official soundtrack for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, bringing together some of the biggest names in global music ahead of next summer’s tournament across Canada, Mexico and the United States.
In an announcement shared on Instagram, FIFA said it is “extremely proud” to unite artists from around the world for the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, describing the project as a celebration of unity, collaboration and culture. The organization noted that both football and music have the unique ability to transcend borders and connect communities on a global scale.
Leading the lineup are several of the music industry’s most recognizable names, including Shakira, Lisa, Future, Daddy Yankee, Jelly Roll, The Rolling Stones, Burna Boy, Anitta, Rema and Tyla. The collection also features a diverse mix of artists representing genres and regions from across the globe, reflecting the international spirit of the tournament.
Among the additional artists contributing to the album are Jessie Reyez, Elyanna, Shenseea, Los Ángeles Azules, Belinda, Carín León, Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado, Davido, Alejandro Fernández, Ayra Starr, Latto, Stormzy, Fridayy, BIA, 21 Savage, Natanael Cano, French Montana, Nora Fatehi, Vegedream, Sanjoy, Danny Ocean, IShowSpeed, Shaggy, Cimafunk and Zama.
The soundtrack arrives as FIFA prepares for what is expected to be the largest World Cup in the tournament’s history. With matches scheduled across three North American nations and millions of fans expected to tune in from around the world, the music project aims to capture the energy, diversity and excitement surrounding the monthlong competition.
If the lineup is any indication, fans can expect a soundtrack as global as the tournament itself; packed with everything from pop and hip-hop to reggaeton, Afrobeats, country and Latin music.

The music community and industry has a special place in my heart and I love exploring the depths. EDC Las Vegas is my favorite festival and this year will be my sixth time attending. Some other recent festivals I've been are Ultra, Elements, Lost Lands, Electric Forest, and Arc. I've been getting more into experimental bass, but techno and house will always have my heart. <3
