The final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will mark the grand finale of the largest World Cup to date. After 104 thrilling matches, the winner will be decided on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium, where the team will lift the golden trophy into the North American night sky. For fans in Mecklenburg Switzerland, the final promises an exciting evening—for example, watching it on the big screen in the barn at the Gessiner Mittelhof. Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. German time. Anyone who doesn’t want to miss a single second of the decisive match should mark this date firmly in their calendar.
For the first time in the history of the FIFA World Cup, there will be a halftime show modeled after the Super Bowl during the final. FIFA is planning an entertainment program that combines soccer, culture, and social responsibility. Directed by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, international music superstars such as Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will transform MetLife Stadium into a stage.
