The safety net of group play is gone. The 2026 FIFA World Cup has entered its win-or-go-home phase, where every minute can define a nation's tournament and every second of the broadcast matters for fans watching along. While fans are glued to the action, many are left wondering just how long halftime is during a World Cup match. Here is everything you need to know about halftime breaks at the 2026 FIFA World Cup: How Long Is Halftime At The World Cup? Every game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup features a 15-minute halftime break. This is standard across most major soccer leagues and tournaments, including Major League Soccer, the Premier League, LaLiga and Serie A. It also equals the length of a standard halftime break in the NBA. The only major North American sport with a halftime break longer than 15 minutes is the NFL, which has an 18-minute halftime break that increases in length during the Super Bowl, which has a halftime show that could range anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. Will The World Cup Final Have A Halftime Show? Yes. For the first time in history, football, music and social impact will come together on the night of the World Cup final. FIFAannounced in May that Madonna, Shakira and BTS will headline the tournament's first-ever halftime show. Shakira's inclusion as one of the headliners felt more like a matter of when, not if, given her longstanding connection to the World Cup and impact on the global stage. She helped shape the World Cups cultural identity for two decades, beginning with her performance of "Hips Dont Lie" at the 2006 tournament in Germany and continuing with "Waka Waka" becoming the defining anthem of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Shakira has already made her long-awaited return to this years World Cup, performing the official anthem "Dai Dai" in Mexico City. If anyone embodies the spirit of the tournament and is fitting for its first-ever halftime show, it is Shakira.

Gabriel Martinelli scored the winning goal late in injury time to give five-time champion Brazil a 2-1 win over Japan in the round of 32 at the World Cup on Monday. Martinelli, who had come on as a second-half substitute, scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time as the match appeared to be headed to extra time. "Above all else we wanted to freshen up the field because Martinelli has a lot of intensity as a player," Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti said through a translator. "When he goes in the match hes always on his top game." Brazil will next face either the Ivory Coast or Norway on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in the round of 16. "We can never be content with what were doing," Ancelotti said. "Were doing a good job. We are performing. But you can never be content because we want to play better. We want to play at the highest level." Casemiro had earlier equalized for Brazil on a header in the 56th minute off an assist from Gabriel Magalhaes after just missing another chance two minutes earlier. The shot sailed just out of reach of the outstretched hand of Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki and into the net. Kaishu Sano stole a misplaced pass at midfield and took it down the field before a right-footed shot from above the half circle put Japan ahead in the 29th minute. "There is not not making mistakes because nobody is perfect," Ancelotti said. "But you have to overcome it and you have to push it forward. The team did a good job of that in the second half." Vinicius Junior, who has scored four goals so far in this year's tournament, had a chance to put Brazil on top in the 58th minute but his shot from the left box was deflected by Suzuki and went off the far post. Casemiro left in the first minute of second-half stoppage time with what appeared to be a leg injury. Brazil had two chances to even the score early in the second half before breaking through. On the first one, Suzuki blocked a header from Bruno Guimaraes in the 52nd minute. Soon after, Casemiros header bounced off a defenders head and Suzukis face. Suzuki finished with four saves. Brazil great Neymar didnt play Monday after making his first appearance for the team since 2023 in the last game against Scotland. He played only 14 minutes in that 3-0 win after missing the first two group matches at the World Cup with a right calf injury. "I was seriously considering putting him on the pitch," Ancelotti said. "In the end, we did not need him." Japan has never won a knockout match at the World Cup, going 0-4 in the round of 16 including also taking the lead the last two times in 2018 and 2022 before losing. The win was Brazils 12th in 15 games against Japan. The teams have also played to two draws while Japan got its first win in the series in a friendly in Tokyo in October. This was a matchup between two countries with deep ties, with Brazil being home to about 2.7 million Japanese descendants, which is the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. Those ties extend to soccer where Brazil superstar Zico moved to Japan in 1991 to play for Kashima Antlers and help build Japans professional soccer network. He coached the Japan national team from 2002-06, leading the team to the World Cup in 2006. That team lost to Brazil 4-1 in the only previous meeting between the teams at the World Cup. Brazil won Group C after a draw with Morocco and victories over Haiti and Scotland. Mondays victory came on the anniversary of their first World Cup championship in Sweden in 1958, when a 17-year-old Pele scored two goals in the final against the host country. Japan reached the round of 32 as runner-up in Group F after a draws with the Netherlands and Sweden and a win over Tunisia. The loss snaps a 10-game unbeaten streak dating back to a 2-0 loss to the United States in September. Reporting by The Associated Press.

A matchup fit to be a World Cup semifinal arrives early in the round of 32

The knockout rounds of the World Cup 2026 are underway as teams face off in the round of 32, and Germany vs Paraguay has become the first game to go to extra-time and penalties, as the two sides drew 1-1 after 120 minutes in Boston. Penalty shoot-outs were first introduced at the 1978 World Cup and they have since become a defining feature of knockout football, with the 2022 final settled with spot-kicks and shoot-outs also required in 1994 and 2006. Nowadays, the format is regarded as one of the most exciting and yet potentially cruel - ways to decide a match, and teams can rarely win a World Cup without navigating the pressures of extra-time or penalties (and often both). In 2026 there will likely be plenty of late drama in the knockout rounds as teams participate in the extended tournament, so read on to find out how penalty shoot-outs work this year. Lionel Messi is among the players to miss a penalty in normal time during this years tournament (Reuters)What are the penalty shoot-out rules at the World Cup?If the game remains level after the 30 minutes of extra-time, then it goes to a penalty shoot-out.Before the first penalty is taken, the referee conducts two coin tosses. The first decides which team takes the first spot-kick, while the second coin toss is done to decide which end of the pitch the penalties are taken from. Fifa has submitted a proposal to change the coin toss to one single toss with the winner deciding one factor and the loser deciding the other though no changes will be made during the World Cup. The shoot-out itself consists of five penalties for each team, with teams alternating takers. Only players who were on the pitch at the full-time whistle (at the end of extra-time) are permitted to take penalties. If both sides score the same number of their first five penalties, the shoot-out goes to sudden death. In this scenario, each team alternates taking a penalty, with the first team to miss then losing the shoot-out. Players cannot benefit from rebounds in penalty shoot-outs, and goalkeepers must be on their lines when attempting to make a save.
