NEW YORK – The 2026 FIFA World Cup is less than eight months away, and there are already several options for betting on it, as well as prop odds that have come up.

One prop in particular on legal sports betting sites that should gain plenty of attention are those on who is going to perform during the halftime show during the championship. Currently leading the field is Ed Sheeran as the only option under +1000 odds.

  • The Weeknd +2500

Sheeran The Safest Pick

This is easily the safest pick on soccer betting sites as Sheeran is known world wide regardless of any language barrier that there might be. Not to mention, his music is very family friendly, which caters to all fans that will be tuning in to watch the championship.

J Lo Pleases South American, Latin Fans

We see plenty of value here on Jennifer Lopez and find it surprising that her odds are as low as they are. This is primarily due to the massive showing from Spanish speaking/South American countries, in which there are at least 10.

J Lo has certainly made a name for herself across many Spanish speaking countries and would fit in perfectly at the halftime show.

Drake Responds To K. Dot

Yes, Drake is far down on the World Cup odds board, however, he could be worth a light wager in the event that he tries to force himself in and respond to Kendrick Lamar for his Super Bowl halftime show diss. That alone is worth the wager, as Drake is known for responding when dissed.
