The 2026 FIFA World Cup final matchup is set, with reigning champion Argentina taking on Spain in the championship game. Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, is seeking to become the first back-to-back World Cup winner since Brazil in 1958 and 1962. Spain, meanwhile, is looking for its second World Cup title.
Path to the Final
Argentina has kept its repeat bid alive with dramatic finishes throughout the knockout rounds, including a 2-1 semifinal win over England. Spain, which has allowed just one goal in the tournament, set a men’s World Cup record with its sixth clean sheet after shutting out France in the semifinals.
The final will be played on July 19 at 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT/12 p.m. PT at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The English-language broadcast will air on Fox, while the Spanish-language broadcast will be shown on Telemundo.
