Argentina will have the chance to defend its world title after a dramatic comeback victory over England secured a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. The reigning champions will face Spain in a highly anticipated showdown for football’s biggest prize.

Spain had booked their place in the final a day earlier with a convincing 2-0 victory over France, setting up a historic encounter between two of the world’s most celebrated football nations. The two sides will battle for the title of world champions on Sunday, July 19.

The passion of Argentine supporters is already being felt across New York. Thousands of fans of La Albiceleste have taken over Times Square, the city’s iconic landmark, creating a spectacular display of colour, chants, and celebration. The impressive scenes from the heart of Manhattan offer a glimpse of the extraordinary atmosphere expected inside the stadium when Argentina and Spain meet for the ultimate prize.

For fans in Greece, the final is scheduled to begin at 10:00 p.m. local time and will be broadcast live by Greece’s public broadcaster, ERT.

The match will take place at the imposing MetLife Stadium — officially known during the tournament as the New York/New Jersey Stadium — in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The state-of-the-art open-air venue, which can host 82,500 spectators, is home to NFL franchises the New York Giants and New York Jets and will provide a fitting stage for football’s most important night.

Despite being two of the most historic, popular, and successful football nations in the world, Argentina and Spain will meet in a World Cup final for the first time ever. The encounter promises to add another unforgettable chapter to the rich history of the tournament.
