The culmination of the 2026 FIFA World Cup has finally arrived. After a month of fierce competition across North America, Spain and Argentina will go head to head on Sunday, July 19 to claim the ultimate prize. La Roja, showing razor-sharp realism in their semifinal against France, come into the final with the certainty of a golden generation ready to crown itself world champions. Standing in their way is the defending champion, the Albiceleste, fueled by a fierce will to keep hold of the crown.
A football summit that promises to thrill fans of epic duels, even though it will leave a bitter taste for French supporters who hoped to see the Blues tread this New York pitch. The stakes are colossal for both nations. For Spain, this final is a chance to claim a second star, sixteen years after their historic crown. For Argentina, the aim is to further cement their recent dominance in football history by pulling off a legendary double after their 2022 triumph.
As surprising as it may seem for two global football powerhouses, Spain and Argentina hardly ever meet in World Cup finals. In fact, history records only one and only direct clash in the tournament. We have to go back sixty years to the 1966 edition held in England. In the group stage in Birmingham, the Albiceleste prevailed, precipitating the early exit of La Roja. So many years on, Spain might finally get its revenge, and it will be on the sport’s biggest stage of all.
To not miss a moment of this summit clash, French viewers can tune in this Sunday, July 19 at 9:00 PM (French time) live from MetLife Stadium in New York. As with the rest of the competition, the grand final will be broadcast free-to-air and at no cost on M6, also available on the pay channel beIN Sports 1.
