Nike brings together heavy-hitters like sports giants Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James.

Nike has kicked off its road to the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a star-packed campaign that brings together some of the biggest names in football, music, film and pop culture.

The sportswear giant has unveiled a six-minute short film called “Rip the Script”, and it feels less like a commercial and more like something you would stumble across while scrolling through movie trailers.

Packed with football legends, Hollywood celebrities, musicians and unexpected cameos, the film throws away the traditional sports-ad formula and leans fully into entertainment.

The premise is simple. A film director is trying to keep control of a chaotic production, but football's biggest names have other ideas.
