Updated Saturday, July 18, 2026 — one sleep to the Final at MetLife Stadium.

The stage is set. Spain and Argentina meet in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final on Sunday, July 19 — La Roja's tiki-taka masterclass against Lionel Messi's last dance. Before that, France and England contest the bronze final tonight in Miami. Here's everything that happened on the road here — and how to follow every second live on your PC, tablet, phone or TV.

The Last 5 Matches

Date	Match	Score	Venue
Jul 15	England vs Argentina	1–2	Atlanta Stadium, Atlanta
Jul 14	France vs Spain	0–2	Dallas Stadium, Dallas
Jul 11	Argentina vs Switzerland	3–1 (AET)	Kansas City Stadium
Jul 11	Norway vs England	1–2 (AET)	Miami Stadium, Miami
Jul 10	Spain vs Belgium	2–1	Los Angeles Stadium

England 1–2 Argentina. Heartbreak in Atlanta. Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute, but Lionel Messi conjured two assists in the closing stages: Enzo Fernández levelled with a long-range strike in the 85th, and Lautaro Martínez headed the winner deep in stoppage time to send Argentina into a second straight World Cup final.

France 0–2 Spain. A masterclass at Dallas Stadium. Mikel Oyarzabal converted from the spot after Digne fouled Lamine Yamal in the box, and Pedro Porro finished a slick give-and-go with Dani Olmo in the 58th to put Spain into their first World Cup final since 2010. France never found a way past Unai Simón.

Argentina 3–1 Switzerland (AET). Alexis Mac Allister struck early in Kansas City, Dan Ndoye equalised in the 67th, and ten-man Switzerland held on until extra time — when a Julián Álvarez golazo (112') and Lautaro Martínez (120+1') settled it.

Norway 1–2 England (AET). Andreas Schjelderup silenced Miami in the 36th, but Jude Bellingham equalised in first-half stoppage time and then pounced on an Ørjan Nyland error in the 93rd for the winner — his sixth goal of the tournament, ending Erling Haaland's dream run with Norway.

Spain 2–1 Belgium. Fabián Ruiz opened the scoring in Los Angeles (30'), Charles De Ketelaere replied for Belgium (41'), and Mikel Merino headed the 88th-minute winner to edge a tense quarter-final.
