FIFA World Cup 2026 Songs: The Playlist Spanning Every Continent

A new Spotify playlist built around FIFA World Cup 2026 songs lands just as the tournament prepares to kick off on Thursday, 11 June, drawing on an unusually wide arc of pop history, from Evelyn Knight & The Stardusters through to BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Nigerian Afrobeats star Rema, and Brazilian pop star Anitta.

The playlist, titled World Cup Songs: All World Cup Anthems and released by uDiscover, pitches itself as ‘the ultimate FIFA World Cup songs playlist from 2010 to 2026, featuring the best football anthems, World Cup vibes, Qatar 2022 hits, United 2026 energy.’ The breadth is real. Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Pump It’, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ ‘Learning to Fly’, OneRepublic’s ‘I Lived’, and The Beatles’ ‘Come Together’ sit alongside contemporary releases, connected less by genre than by a shared quality of collective momentum, that sensation of a crowd already moving before the first whistle.

The Beatles, England and a Squad Announcement

The inclusion of ‘Come Together’ carries a specific topical charge. The track recently served as the soundtrack to England’s squad announcement ahead of the 2026 tournament, giving the song a fresh layer of ceremonial weight it has been accumulating since 1969. It is a useful reminder that the relationship between football and recorded music is rarely tidy: a song does not need to have been composed for a tournament to become bound up in one.

The playlist opens, though, with ‘Goals’, the collaboration between Lisa, Rema, and Anitta that functions as the centrepiece of the FIFA World Cup 2026 songs campaign. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Cirkut, the track arrived with an official music video and carries the weight of an explicit brief: three artists, three continents, one release designed to travel.

Anitta was direct about what the project means to her personally. ‘My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional,’ she said. ‘I’m Brazilian, after all, of course I have wonderful memories tied to the tournament. It’s incredibly special to now contribute to its history, collaborating with LISA and Rema on “Goals”. I’m very grateful for this opportunity.’ Rema kept it sharper: ‘Three continents, one track, bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage.’

The Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album: 18 Tracks, Global Reach

‘Goals’ is the fourth single from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album, following ‘Por Ella’ by Los Ángeles Azules and Belinda, ‘Echo’ by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea, and ‘Illuminate’ by Jessie Reyez and Elyanna. Each release has been structured to foreground regional sounds from a different part of the world, a rolling-out strategy that positions the album less as a single cultural statement than as a series of dispatches from the tournament’s host geography and beyond.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, the full album runs to 18 tracks, a scope that goes considerably beyond the four singles already in circulation. That leaves a substantial portion of the project still to surface publicly before the opening fixture.

The roster extends further than the lead singles suggest. HotNewHipHop reports that Future, Tyla, French Montana, and 21 Savage are among the artists featured on the album, giving the project a hip-hop and Afropop dimension that sits alongside its Latin and K-pop contributions. Taken together, the tracklist reads as a deliberate attempt to map something of the actual geography of global popular music in 2025 and 2026, rather than defaulting to the stadium-rock anthems that dominated official World Cup releases in earlier decades.

Whether the FIFA World Cup 2026 songs collection coheres as a listening experience across all 18 tracks is a question the full release will answer. What is already clear is that the architecture is more ambitious than most tournament albums attempt: regional sequencing, genuine genre diversity, and collaborations assembled to cross audiences rather than simply stack names. The playlist on Spotify is available now, with the tournament itself beginning 11 June under the governance of FIFA.
