Future and Tyla Team Up for FIFA 2026 Anthem 'Game Time'

Future and Tyla have joined forces on “Game Time,” the first major sonic pillar of the 2026 FIFA World Cup soundtrack. The track bridges the gap between Atlanta’s trap lineage and the Johannesburg-born amapiano-pop that has made Tyla a global fixture over the last eighteen months. Rather than a forced crossover, the collaboration finds a middle ground in the rhythmic space between Future’s percussive flows and Tyla’s breathy, melodic precision. The release serves as a precursor to the tournament’s opening ceremony in June, where both artists are slated to perform alongside a roster including Rema and LISA. For Future, it is a rare foray into the global sporting spotlight; for Tyla, it is a calculated solidification of the momentum she built with “Water.” By pairing a veteran of the American rap canon with the most visible face of contemporary African pop, FIFA is signaling a shift toward a more modern, club-oriented tournament identity. “Game Time” is available now across all streaming platforms ahead of the World Cup kickoff next month.
