FIFA unveils its biggest-ever 18-track World Cup 2026 Album
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicking off tomorrow across North America, the governing body has unveiled its most ambitious musical project to date: a sprawling 18-track official tournament album.
Designed to match the unprecedented scale of a competition co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the compilation brings together a massive roster of global superstars and breakthrough artists. It is officially the largest musical rollout in World Cup history.
While the full album is currently available for pre-save on major streaming platforms, fans have already been treated to six early releases to build up the hype. The pre-tournament drops include the propulsive anthem "Goals" featuring BLACKPINK's LISA, Anitta, and Rema, alongside Future and Tyla's trap-infused track "Game Time". Other early singles feature heavyweights like Daddy Yankee and Shenseea teaming up for "Echo", as well as collaborative efforts from Jelly Roll, Jessie Reyez, and Los Ángeles Azules.
However, the tracklist holds plenty of heavy hitters yet to drop. Fans can look forward to cross-genre mashups like "Three Nations" by 21 Savage, Nata Cano, and French Montana, and "No Place Like Home" featuring Major Lazer, Nelly Furtado, and Davido. Global pop icons Shakira and Burna Boy are joining forces for a track titled "Dai Dai", while British rap star Stormzy teams up with Friday and Angel for "Blessings".
Perhaps the most unexpected addition is rock royalty The Rolling Stones, who will feature on a remixed version of their recent track "In the Stars".
"FIFA has brought together an extraordinarily strong music squad and one befitting the biggest single-sport event in history," FIFA President Gianni Infantino shared in a statement, noting that the project was specifically curated to unite fans across different continents, languages, and genres.
Live renditions of the soundtrack will take centre stage over the next few days. Several featured artists are slated to perform at official countdown concerts in Los Angeles, Toronto, and Mexico City, as well as during the opening ceremonies. According to FIFA, even more singles and unannounced collaborations will continue to roll out as the month-long tournament progresses.
