Grammy award-winning South African star Tyla has joined forces with American rapper Future for a brand-new global collaboration ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The duo will release a World Cup anthem titled “Game Time”, which is set to drop this Friday, 29 May 2026. The song is expected to bring together two different sounds and audiences, blending Tyla’s fresh global pop style with Future’s signature hip-hop influence.
The track is part of the wider FIFA Sound soundtrack rollout for the upcoming tournament, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The initiative is aimed at connecting music and football on a global scale, building excitement ahead of one of the world’s biggest sporting events.
Tyla is also preparing for a major moment on the world stage, as she has been confirmed as one of the performers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening celebrations. She is expected to take the stage in both Mexico City and Los Angeles as part of the tournament’s global kickoff events.
One of the biggest highlights of her involvement will be her headline performance at the opening ceremony at the iconic Estadio Azteca on June 11. This performance will take place just before the opening match between Mexico and South Africa, creating a powerful moment that brings together music, culture, and football.
Fans can expect a high-energy showcase as Tyla represents South Africa on one of the world’s biggest stages, marking another major milestone in her rapidly growing international career. The collaboration with Future and her involvement in the World Cup soundtrack further cement her position as one of the most exciting global artists of this generation.
