Spain vs Argentina Live Stream: How to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Match Online from Anywhere

The 2026 World Cup final is set for Sunday at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, where Spain and Argentina will fight for the title. Spain aim to lift the trophy for the second time and claim its first championship since its win in South Africa in 2010. Argentina, meanwhile, is chasing a fourth World Cup crown after winning the tournament most recently in Qatar four years ago.

The final could also be Lionel Messi’s last appearance at a World Cup. At 39, the Argentine captain will face a Spain team led by 19-year-old Lamine Yamal, with the two Barcelona graduates expected to be among the biggest storylines heading into the showdown.

Fight for the Cup

Argentina booked its place in the final with a 2-1 semifinal victory over England, while Spain secured the other spot by defeating France 2-0. Spain has navigated one of the toughest paths to the World Cup final.

La Roja opened the knockout stage with a 3-0 win over Austria in the Round of 32 before edging Portugal 1-0 in the Round of 16. They then defeated Belgium 2-1 in the quarterfinals and blanked France 2-0 in the semifinals to book their place in the title match.

Spain has faced three FIFA top-10-ranked teams during this World Cup—Belgium, Portugal, and France—the most of any nation in the tournament. Spain‘s biggest strength has been its defense. Across seven matches, it has conceded just one goal, while its six clean sheets are the most recorded by any team in a single World Cup.

Argentina’s route to the final has been far more dramatic.

The defending champions opened the knockout stage with a 3-2 ein over Cape Verde in the Round of 32 before coming from behind to beat Egypt 3-2 in the Round of 16. They then overcame Switzerland 3-1 after extra time in the quarterfinals and edged England 2-1 in the semifinals to reach the title match.

While Argentina has rarely had an easy ride, it has consistently found a way to deliver in the closing stages of games. The team has scored a tournament-high 18 goals, with nine of them coming in the 75th minute or later.

That sets up one of the biggest storylines of the final: Can Spain’s rock-solid defense withstand Argentina’s relentless late-game surge?
