The full story: American hip-hop artist Future and South African pop star Tyla delivered “Game Time” at SoFi Stadium June 12, 2026, during the U.S. opening ceremony right before USA vs Paraguay. The stadium erupted with red smoke, fireworks, and a massive replica trophy. Future opened in a 30-pound custom red varsity jacket designed by Pharrell Williams, Tyla joined with dancers holding gold soccer balls. The track, produced by Cirkut, is the seventh single from the official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album — the first time hip-hop headlined a World Cup opening.
