FIFA has unveiled a star-studded entertainment lineup for the Final Draw of the 2026 World Cup, set for December 5, 2025, at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The ceremony will be co-hosted by supermodel and television personality Heidi Klum, comedian and actor Kevin Hart, and actor-producer Danny Ramirez. Millions of viewers are expected to tune in as preparations continue for the first-ever 48-team World Cup, which will be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Klum described returning to the World Cup draw two decades after her first appearance as a “special honour.”
“To host the final draw again, after being involved in this show 20 years ago in my home country, is truly extraordinary,” she said. “The World Cup brings the world together like nothing else, and being part of that magic again, on an even bigger stage with three host countries and 48 teams, is an incredible honour.”
Ramirez also shared the personal significance of his role. “As someone who grew up playing football, co-hosting the draw and meeting World Cup legends at such a high-profile event is a dream,” he said. “With this tournament coming to the United States, where I was born, and Mexico, where some of my roots lie, it is even more special – and I couldn’t be more excited 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 disco group Village People closing the show with their iconic hit “Y.M.C.A.”
FIFA noted that details regarding the draw conductors and assistants will be announced at a later date.
