Spain vs Argentina: The World Cup Final Is Set

Sunday's showpiece in New Jersey will pit European champions Spain against Argentina in what promises to be a clash for the ages.

The two remaining giants of the 2026 FIFA World Cup are confirmed: Spain face Argentina in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, kick-off 19:00 UTC, according to Sky Sports.

Spain booked their place with a commanding 2-0 win over France in Dallas, while Argentina came from behind to eliminate England in Atlanta. It is a final that pits the reigning European champions against the reigning world champions, and few neutrals will be complaining.

France and England, meanwhile, will meet in the third-place play-off in Miami on Saturday evening, a consolation fixture that both sides will be desperate to turn into something meaningful after heartbreaking semi-final exits.
