It all comes down to this moment. Spain vs. Argentina: the 2026 World Cup final.
The 104th and concluding match of an exhilarating tournament has a tall order to match the breathtaking heights of the previous final in Qatar, where Argentina triumphed on penalties after a Kylian Mbappé-inspired France mounted a stunning comeback late in normal time.
The defending champions are chasing history at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, with Brazil in 1962 being the last side to successfully defend the trophy. Lionel Scaloni's squad has navigated quite the rollercoaster ride, repeatedly dancing on the edge of elimination. The chaos-embracing Argentines operate as the polar opposite of Spain's trademark control, with La Roja growing impressively as the tournament has progressed.
Replicate a performance close to its semifinal victory over France, and the one-time champion will be an extraordinarily difficult side to beat. "Everything about Spain worries me," Scaloni conceded on Saturday — and that's even before its teenage sensation has delivered his best performance.
Lamine Yamal may be saving his greatest moment of the summer for the biggest stage imaginable, with the youngster surely eager to outshine the man he's called "the best player in history" on what will almost certainly be Lionel Messi's final appearance for his nation.
The 2026 World Cup final is unmissable, and here's everything you need to know about how to watch it across the world.
