Spain and Argentina face off in the 2026 World Cup final

The 2026 World Cup reaches its conclusion with the final match between Spain and Argentina at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Argentina seeks a second consecutive world title, while Spain aims for its second overall championship. The final will feature a halftime show lasting between 20 and 30 minutes, an unprecedented length for the event. Previously, England secured third place after defeating France 6-4 in a high-scoring playoff match held in Miami. During that game, Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick for England, and Kylian Mbappé extended his record to 22 all-time World Cup goals. Despite severe weather challenges, including storms that disrupted training sessions, the final match is scheduled for 15:00 local time on Sunday. Argentina’s coach Lionel Scaloni highlighted the social unity the team has fostered within their country ahead of the final.
