FIFA and The Rolling Stones Announce World Cup 2026 Collaboration

FIFA and The Rolling Stones are joining forces ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, bringing together two global icons in sports and music for a new collaboration built around culture, creativity, and worldwide fandom.

The partnership connects the energy of the world’s biggest football tournament with one of rock music’s most legendary bands, creating a crossover moment designed for fans of both music and the game.

Limited-Edition Vinyl Covers

As part of the collaboration, three limited-edition FIFA World Cup 2026 vinyl album covers will be created for The Rolling Stones’ forthcoming Capitol Records album, Foreign Tongues.

The special covers will feature artwork that blends the band’s iconic imagery with FIFA World Cup 2026 design elements. Produced in limited quantities, the releases are positioned as collectible keepsakes for fans looking to commemorate the historic crossover.

New Music for the World Cup Moment

The collaboration will also include a special remix of The Rolling Stones’ new song, “In the Stars,” which will appear on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.

In addition to the music, a line of clothing and headwear merchandise connected to the partnership is expected to be released for fans to purchase.

Football and Music on a Global Stage

FIFA Chief Business Officer Romy Gai described the World Cup as “the biggest show on earth,” highlighting its ability to bring billions of people together through football, culture, and shared celebration.

Gai added that welcoming The Rolling Stones into the tournament experience brings the energy and identity of one of music’s most iconic bands into a moment already built around global connection.

Part of FIFA’s Larger Music Strategy

The initiative is part of FIFA’s ongoing strategic partnership with Universal Music Group, which aims to strengthen the relationship between football and music through FIFA Sound.

With the 2026 tournament set to become one of the biggest global sporting events in history, the collaboration adds another layer to FIFA’s effort to make the World Cup a wider cultural experience beyond the pitch.
