With less than six months to go before the start of the 2026 World Cup, to be held in Mexico, the United States and Canada, the tournament is already beginning to generate expectation beyond the field of play. In the last few hours, a rumor has captured global attention: Lady Gaga and The Weeknd could be the interpreters of the official song of the 2026 World Cup.
The 2026 World Cup will be the largest in the history of soccer, with 48 participating teams and a projected audience of billions of viewers. In this context, the choice of the official theme song has become a key element for the cultural identity of the event.
The rumor that dominates networks and media
The unconfirmed version about the possible participation of Lady Gaga and The Weeknd in the 2026 World Cup began to circulate in social networks.
As well as in spaces specialized in music and entertainment.
The idea of a collaboration between two of the most influential artists in contemporary pop quickly ignited the digital conversation.
Especially among young fans and international audiences.
However, so far there is no official statement from FIFA, nor statements from the artists themselves, confirming or supporting this information.
Therefore, the scenario remains speculative.

Why the combination generates so much expectation
Both artists have a proven global reach.
Lady Gaga has participated in major sporting events, such as the Super Bowl halftime show.
While The Weeknd headlined one of the most watched shows in the history of that same event.
An eventual collaboration for the 2026 World Cup would not only have a musical impact, but would reinforce FIFA’s strategy of connecting with wider audiences.
Especially in the United States, where soccer continues to grow commercially and culturally.
What’s official so far
So far, the only official piece of music confirmed by FIFA is the instrumental “FIFA World Cup 26 Theme Song”, presented as the tournament’s sound identity.
In addition, some television stations have released promotional songs of their own.
One example is “Somos Más”, a song promoted by an international television station and performed by Carlos Vives, Emilia, Wisin and Xavi, although it is not the official anthem of the 2026 World Cup.
