The FIFA World Cup 2026 New York New Jersey Host Committee is bringing the energy of the tournament to life through its official soundtrack for NYC. The NYNJ Sonic Takeover is a region-wide audio experience that will echo through airports, transit hubs, shopping centers, and music platforms, immersing residents and visitors in the excitement leading up to the world’s biggest sporting event.
New York and New Jersey Get a Soundtrack for the World Cup
New York and New Jersey are known for their vibrant soundscapes, from the roar of subway trains to the pulse of live music on the streets. The NYNJ Sonic ID will blend these iconic city sounds with the electric atmosphere of the World Cup. It will create a unique audio signature that will be heard across the region.
This initiative will be featured at Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia airports. Also at major transit hubs like the PATH and NY Waterway terminals, and even Madison Square Garden.
Shoppers at American Dream, Westfield Garden State Plaza, and Queens Center will also experience the Sonic Takeover as they browse stores and dine. You can listen to the entire NYC theme here.
NYC’s Biggest Music Producers Join the Project
The FIFA World Cup Host Committee has tapped Take A Daytrip soundtrack, the NYC production duo behind hits for Lil Nas X, Jack Harlow, and Sheck Wes, to craft the NYNJ Sonic ID. Their bold, high-energy style will amplify the excitement of the tournament. This will make the World Cup an audible experience long before the first kickoff.
The Sonic ID will also reach millions of listeners through iHeartRadio stations like Z100, Power 105.1, and 103.5 KTU. It will also include Spotify and Apple Music. Fans can share their encounters with the #NYNJSonicIDTakeover hashtag.
NYC Gears Up for the Biggest World Cup in History
