Today's FIFA World Cup 2026 Final also brought the first-ever FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Halftime Show. With co-headliners Madonna, Shakira, BTS, and Justin Bieber in play, the musical event brought a whole lot to the experience in a short period of time. We also had Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the Webby Award-winning PS 22 Chorus (featuring Coldplay), and even Sesame Street and The Muppets in play. But in terms of introductions, it's tough to beat what Bieber and Apple TV's Ted Lasso stars Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt had planned.

That's when we got a chance to hear Ted's pep talk to Bieber, as Beard holds up a sign that reads, "BELIEBE."
Here's a look at Sudeikis and Hunt in full-on "Ted Lasso" mode, introducing Bieber. Following that, we have highlights from not only Bieber's performance, but also Madonna, BTS, Shakira, The Muppets, and more (or check out the entire show above):
