FIFA has revealed an impressive entertainment lineup for the Final Draw of the 2026 World Cup, which is set to take place on December 5, 2025, at the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The event will be co-hosted by supermodel and television personality Heidi Klum, comedian and actor Kevin Hart, along actor-producer Danny Ramirez.
Millions of viewers are anticipated to tune in as preparations ramp up for the inaugural 48-team World Cup, to be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Klum expressed that returning to the World Cup draw two decades after her initial appearance is a remarkable privilege.
“To be hosting the final draw again, after having been involved in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary,” she stated.
“The World Cup unites the world like nothing else, and being part of that magic once more, on an even larger stage involving three host nations and 48 teams, is an incredible honour.”
Ramirez also emphasised the personal importance of his participation.
“As someone who grew up playing football, having the opportunity to co-host the draw and interact with World Cup legends at such a prestigious event is a dream come true,” he remarked. “With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where some of my heritage lies, it is even more special – and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of this show.”
The entertainment lineup will feature live performances by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, British pop star Robbie Williams, and American singer Nicole Scherzinger, with the disco group Village People concluding the event with their iconic hit “Y.M.C.A.”
FIFA has indicated that further details regarding the draw conductors and assistants will be disclosed at a later date.
