The 2026 FIFA World Cup has drawn some of the biggest names in entertainment to stadiums across the United States. Tom Cruise and David Beckham were spotted together in the stands watching the United States take on Paraguay at Los Angeles Stadium, joined later in the game by Victoria Beckham. Katy Perry performed at the closing ceremony for the opening match, following sets by Future, Tyla, Anitta, and Lisa.

Paris Hilton and Tobey Maguire attended a match at Los Angeles Stadium to cheer on Team USA, while Ryan Reynolds was seen in the stands in Toronto supporting Canada. Shakira, Michael Bublé, and Alanis Morissette have also been photographed at various group stage fixtures across the tournament’s three host countries.
The tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, spans 16 venues and runs through July 19. The expanded 48-team format means the group stage alone produces 72 matches, giving fans and celebrities more opportunities to attend than any previous World Cup. Several stars have been seen at multiple games across different cities.
The celebrity presence has drawn comparisons to the Super Bowl circuit, where attending high-profile sporting events has become a fixture of Hollywood’s social calendar. World Cup organizers and broadcast partners have welcomed the attention, with cameras regularly cutting to celebrity sightings during live coverage on Fox and Telemundo in the United States.
The tournament has also attracted major football royalty. Former players and managers have attended games across the tournament, and Lionel Messi himself received a standing ovation from fans at Los Angeles Stadium before Argentina’s opening group match. The event has become as much a cultural gathering as a sporting one.
The knockout stage begins June 28, and demand for tickets to late-round matches in the largest venues is expected to rise significantly. Fans can check availability and schedules on the official FIFA World Cup website. With USA already through to the knockouts, the biggest celebrity turnout may still be ahead.
