FIFA has unveiled the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album featuring a lineup of global artists [1].

The project aims to provide a unifying soundtrack for fans worldwide by capturing the energy and global spirit of the tournament [4, 5]. As the event will be hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the U.S., the music is designed to reflect the diverse regions involved [4].

The album consists of 18 tracks [1], making it the largest music project ever linked to a World Cup tournament [2, 3]. This scale marks a significant shift in how the organization integrates popular music into the sporting event's branding and fan experience [2].

Scheduled for release on June 5, 2024 [3], the album includes a variety of high-profile contributors. Confirmed artists include Shakira, 21 Savage, and LISA [1]. Other reported contributors include Anitta and Tyla [2].

Some discrepancies exist regarding the full artist roster. While one source listed The Rolling Stones among the participants, multiple reports from MSN did not include the band in the lineup [1, 2, 6]. Similarly, reports vary on whether the artist Future is included in the 18-track list [3, 1].

FIFA said the project is intended to evoke the emotion of the game. By leveraging a wide array of genres and international stars, the organization seeks to bridge the gap between the athletic competition and the global entertainment industry [4, 5].

“The largest music project ever linked to the tournament.”

The unprecedented size of this album suggests FIFA is shifting toward a more integrated entertainment strategy. By releasing a full-length project years before the 2026 kickoff, the organization is attempting to build long-term cultural momentum and commercial ties with the music industry across the three host nations.
