World Cup Final halftime show odds: Who will perform and what songs will they play?

The World Cup final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday will feature a star-studded halftime show, and Kalshi traders are trying to predict which surprise guests could join the lineup.

Sabrina Carpenter leads the surprise guest market at 30%, followed by Post Malone at 24% and Swae Lee at 19%.

The halftime show will be headlined by Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS, so traders are also predicting the songs that they’ll perform.

Shakira’s “Dai Dai” leads the market at 98%. Other songs traders expect to hear from the headliners include BTS’s “Dynamite” at 75%, Bieber’s “Daisies” at 14%, and Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” at 5%.

If Swae Lee takes the stage during the halftime show, it won’t be his first appearance at the World Cup. He appeared in the opening ceremony performance at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens back in June.

He’s also had a banner year so far and his name has been on the rise again since he released his debut solo album last month. His track “SIDE EYE” has also become a fan favorite, something he said was a “surprise” to him in an interview with Billboard at the BET Awards.

Carpenter isn’t scheduled to appear at the opening or closing ceremonies, but she has several ties to this year’s World Cup festivities.

Last month, The Irish Sun reported the singer was spotted sitting in the stands during the Ecuador vs. Germany game at MetLife Stadium with a pair of binoculars.

She also had a recent collaboration with Madonna who is already scheduled to perform at the halftime show on Sunday. Madonna and Carpenter appeared together in the single and music video for “Bring Your Love” that’s part of Madonna’s Confessions II album.

Post Malone is already scheduled to headline the closing ceremony at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. He's a Texas native and a huge sports fan, so it makes sense that he'd lead the pre-match show.

Since he’s already scheduled to perform at the closing ceremony, traders don’t seem as sure that he’ll pop up in the halftime performance on Sunday in New Jersey. That may explain why his market price remains below Sabrina Carpenter’s, despite recent gains.

Of course, the main focus on Sunday will be the final showdown between Spain and Argentina. Kalshi traders are also forecasting the outcome of Sunday's final.

As of Thursday, Spain leads the World Cup final market at 58.2%, while Argentina stands at 42.2%.

The World Cup final starts at 3 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. The game will air on Fox, FoxSports.com, and the Fox Sports app. Fox One will also stream the match live. The Spanish-language broadcast will run on Telemundo and the streaming service Peacock.
