Defending champions Argentina will take on Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final, with the title match set for MetLife Stadium on Monday (IST). The game will bring the tournament to a close and cap what has been described as the biggest World Cup in the competition's history.

Much of the focus before kickoff will be on the final lineups and which key players are trusted to deliver on the biggest stage. Argentina head into the match carrying the pressure and confidence that come with being reigning champions, while Spain arrive with the chance to add another major international title against elite opposition.

With two heavyweight teams meeting for the trophy, the Spain vs Argentina World Cup 2026 final is expected to be one of the most closely watched matches of the tournament. The venue, the stakes and the paths both teams took through the semifinals have all added to the anticipation surrounding the final.
