Defending champions Argentina will face Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday 19 July at the New York New Jersey Stadium. Kick-off is at 8pm (BST), 3pm (ET). The match will be broadcast live in the UK on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, ITV1, and ITVX.

Spain, the 2010 champions, reached the final by defeating France in Dallas, while Argentina staged a dramatic comeback against England in Atlanta, keeping Lionel Messi's bid for back-to-back titles alive. This marks the first World Cup final between these nations, and no team has defended the title since Brazil in 1958 and 1962.

The final features the tournament's first official half-time show, an 11-minute spectacle curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay. Performers include Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber, Burna Boy, BTS, Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus. A Closing Ceremony begins at 6:30pm (BST), 90 minutes before kick-off, with Tom Cruise, Laura Pausini, Nicole Scherzinger, Robbie Williams, and IShow Speed.

In the third-place play-off on Saturday 18 July at Miami Stadium, England edged France 6-4 in a high-scoring thriller.
