About FIFA World Cup Opening Ceremony 2026

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Opening Ceremony lights up Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on June 11, delivering a spectacular 90-minute celebration of football, culture, and global unity before the tournament kicks off. The star-studded Mexico City lineup features Maná, Alejandro Fernández, Belinda, J Balvin, Los Ángeles Azules, Lila Downs, Danny Ocean, and South African singer Tyla — a nod to the opening match opponents — with the stage draped in papel picado and pyrotechnics that fill the legendary Azteca bowl.

Estadio Azteca becomes the first venue in history to host World Cup opening matches across three tournaments (1970, 1986, and 2026), making this ceremony truly historic. The show begins at 11:30 AM local time in Mexico City, leading directly into the opening match — Mexico vs. South Africa — at 1:00 PM.
