The half-time break for the upcoming World Cup final on Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium is expected to last between 20 and 25 minutes. An 11-minute Super Bowl-style show will feature performances from Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. While FIFA sources suggest a 20-minute break, an option includes the standard 15-minute halftime followed by the 11-minute show. The World Cup final is scheduled to kick-off at 15:00 local time (20:00 BST), preceded by a closing ceremony starting at 13:30 local time (18:30 BST). Spain secured a place in the final by defeating France 2-0 in the semi-finals and will face either England or Argentina, pending their Wednesday match-up.
