All the A-list celebrities spotted at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final: From Tom Cruise to Kylie Jenner (Getty Images)MetLife Stadium hosted more than a football match on Sunday. With Argentina taking on Spain in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the venue became one of the most star-studded arenas on the planet, drawing Hollywood actors, music royalty, sitting heads of state and sporting legends into the same building. The closing ceremony featured performances from Jennifer Hudson, Post Malone and Robbie Williams, while the halftime show – a first in World Cup history – was curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin and featured Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber and BTS. Here's a look at every major name spotted on the day.Beyoncé and Jay-Z Jay-Z had just wrapped his massive "Extra Innings" concert series at Yankee Stadium the previous week, with Beyoncé making a guest appearance, and the couple carried that momentum straight to MetLife Stadium. The two were spotted cheering in the stands throughout the match, one of the most recognizable couples in music watching one of the most consequential matches in football history.Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner The couple was photographed together at MetLife Stadium ahead of kickoff, continuing what has become a familiar pattern of high-profile sporting appearances together. From NBA playoff games to Wimbledon, the two have consistently shown up at major events this year. The World Cup Final was simply the biggest stage yet.Rihanna Rihanna attended the final alongside ASAP Rocky, adding to a list of musicians in the stands that already read like a festival lineup. Her appearance at MetLife came with no performance attached -- just one of the biggest names in pop watching football from the crowd like everyone else.Tom Cruise Tom Cruise did far more than attend. The actor appeared on the pitch during the closing ceremony and delivered a speech reflecting on the 48 teams that had competed across Canada, Mexico and the United States before introducing the two finalists. He was later photographed in the stands with David, Victoria and Cruz Beckham -- a remarkably cinematic image even by World Cup standards.David Beckham David Beckham attended the final alongside wife Victoria and brought sons Romeo and Cruz, as well as Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turbull and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel — practically a family outing at the world's biggest sporting event. Beckham, who has long maintained close ties with FIFA, was one of the more expected names on the guest list.President Donald Trump President Trump attended the final alongside First Lady Melania Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. The diplomatic optics were hard to miss --- the three host nations represented in one suite, watching the match that their combined countries had spent years building toward.Shakira Shakira was part of the first-ever halftime show at a men's World Cup final, performing alongside Madonna, Justin Bieber and BTS in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. For Shakira specifically, this was personal. The Colombia-born global superstar has always had a complicated, emotional connection to football and to Argentina, and performing at a final between Spain and Argentina carried weight that went beyond just the stage.Madonna Madonna appeared on stage during the halftime show alongside Brazilian football legends Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, turning the interval into something far beyond a musical interlude. It was the kind of crossover between sport and entertainment that FIFA had been signalling for years, and the final delivered on it fully.MrBeast Jimmy Donaldson, known as MrBeast, attended the final with his partner Thea Booysen, continuing his recent pattern of appearing at major global events. His presence in the crowd reflected a broader shift in who gets invited to sport's biggest stages — creators and digital celebrities now sitting alongside Hollywood A-listers and world leaders.Who else was spotted at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final?The guest list ran deep. Matt Damon and wife Luciana, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Austin Butler, Serena Williams, Pharrell Williams, Javier Bardem, Jon Hamm, Scott Eastwood, Adrien Brody and Trevor Noah were all photographed at MetLife Stadium. NBA stars Victor Wembanyama, Karl-Anthony Towns, Jalen Brunson, James Harden, Draymond Green and Tyrese Haliburton also made the trip to East Rutherford.
