Tyla is officially in her World Cup bag, teaming up with Future for “Game Time,” one of the headline singles from the 2026 FIFA World Cup soundtrack. The track, released via FIFA Sound, leans into stadium‑ready energy with big horns, heavy bass and call‑and‑response moments built for clips from packed arenas and fan watch parties.
“Game Time” dropped alongside a cinematic video that cuts between Future and Tyla performing and scenes designed to mimic tournament adrenaline. Produced by Grammy‑winner Cirkut, the song mixes Future’s chant‑style hooks with Tyla’s smooth, Afro‑influenced melodies and football references, slotting neatly into FIFA’s push for a full official album rather than just one anthem. You can watch the video and hear the track in full here.
For Tyla, the moment is a full‑circle flex; she’s said being on the official 2026 World Cup album feels especially special given that South Africa hosted the tournament in 2010. In one behind‑the‑scenes clip, she talks about bringing African rhythm and Amapiano‑adjacent bounce into a space usually dominated by more generic pop stadium music, and hints at plans to perform the song on some of the biggest World Cup stages.
