Tyla & Future Release New World Cup Anthem “Game Time”

The build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to gather momentum, with Tyla and Future officially releasing “Game Time” as part of FIFA’s World Cup 2026 music campaign.

The collaboration brings together two artists from different corners of the global music industry. Tyla, who has become one of South Africa’s most successful international music exports in recent years, joins forces with the American rapper for a track tied to one of the world’s biggest sporting events.

“Game Time” blends Tyla’s signature sound with Future’s rap style, creating a track that aligns with the energy and scale associated with the FIFA World Cup. The song is expected to feature across various World Cup-related broadcasts, promotions and fan experiences as the tournament approaches.

The release forms part of FIFA’s broader World Cup music programme, which has featured collaborations involving artists from different regions and genres. The organisation has increasingly used music as a way to connect with football fans across the globe in the lead-up to major tournaments.

For Tyla, the project adds another high-profile international collaboration to her growing catalogue. Participation in an official FIFA World Cup campaign places her among a select group of artists chosen to contribute to the tournament’s entertainment offering.

The collaboration also reflects the continued presence of African artists in major global sporting and cultural events. In recent years, musicians from across the continent have played increasingly visible roles in international campaigns, performances and tournament celebrations.

With the World Cup drawing closer, “Game Time” adds another musical element to the tournament’s growing entertainment programme while giving football fans a new soundtrack ahead of kick-off in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
