This Sunday, July 19, 2026, Spain take on Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just outside New York. A summit clash between the European champions and the reigning world champions, for football’s most coveted trophy. Good news for fans: the match is free to stream on M6+, in addition to being broadcast live on M6 and on beIN Sports for subscribers, with a 21:00 French time kickoff. We’ll show you how to catch every moment of the match from your phone, tablet, or TV.
The two sides arrive at the peak of their craft. Spain, the reigning European champions, brushed aside France (2-0) in the semifinal and have conceded just one goal since the tournament began. La Roja are contesting a second World Cup final after their 2010 triumph and are chasing a historic Euro-World Cup double. On the other bench, Argentina, the defending champions, eliminated England (2-1) and are aiming for back-to-back glory that only a few nations have managed to achieve.
This Spain-Argentina clash will inevitably strike a chord with French fans, who remember the final they lost to the Albiceleste in 2022. Between the Spanish prodigy Lamine Yamal and the Argentines’ experience, the final promises a compelling generational showdown. Here’s how to watch it streaming.
The World Cup final will be broadcast free-to-air on M6, as well as on its streaming platform M6+. Just create a free account on the official M6 site or use the dedicated app to watch the match at no cost. A historic first, since TF1 will not air any match from this World Cup—a situation not seen in more than 45 years.
M6+ works on virtually every platform: iOS and Android smartphones, tablets, web browsers, smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Philips, Android TV) and operator set-top boxes (Free, Orange, Bouygues Telecom, SFR). The channel delivered a total of 54 World Cup 2026 matches free-to-air, including France's games, the two semi-finals, the third-place match and the grand final.
For those who follow all 104 matches of the 2026 World Cup, beIN Sports also offers the final on beIN Sports 1, in a joint broadcast with M6. The subscription costs 15 euros per month with no commitment, available directly on the beIN Sports platform or via the l'offre Canal+ Sport.
One last check before kickoff: make sure your box or your TV package actually includes the TNT channels, so you don’t get left out just minutes from this highly anticipated final.
With a 9 p.m. kickoff on a Sunday evening, the timing lends itself perfectly to an outdoor night out, on a terrace or in front of a big screen, to watch the tournament’s final act as a group. Several fan zones in Paris broadcast the 2026 World Cup matches on giant screens, for a final atmosphere that’s far more festive than watching on your phone.
