Spain v Argentina, the 2026 World Cup final live. The two national teams prepare for a historic match: long lines at the entrances to the New York Stadium.

Spain and Argentina are preparing for a historic World Cup final, which will take place at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Spanish fans are gathering in Madrid's Plaza de Colón and other locations across Spain to watch the match on large screens. In Eibar, where Spanish player Mikel Oyarzabal was born, there is little fan activity despite the installation of a large screen for the game. Some anti-Spain graffiti has appeared in the town square. In Barcelona, the city moved its giant screen to a larger venue due to high demand. This will be the first time in history that the European and South American champions face off in a World Cup final. The two teams previously met once in the 1966 World Cup, with Argentina winning that encounter.
