FINAL Spain vs Argentina - World Cup 2026 - M104
The World Cup 2026 Final has a dream match-up, and Spain vs Argentina tickets for Match 104 go on sale today. The European champions will play world champions in Match 104: Final on July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey to play for football's biggest prize — and you'll see Lamine Yamal share the pitch with Lionel Messi, one of football's better-written scripts.
There is no event bigger in sport than the World Cup 2026 Final, and the final in question has been a fitting curtain call to the tournament. Spain, the European champions, were one win away from a spot in their first World Cup final since 2010 as they dispatched France, while Argentina, the holders, fought off an extremely close semi-final against England to get a second chance to win the trophy, which they first secured in 2022.
One country will win the World Cup in front of 1 billion or more TV viewers when the two meet at MetLife Stadium for the first-ever 48-team edition of the tournament, making Match 104 World Cup 2026 tickets some of the most popular in the tournament, with Spain looking to win another star and Argentina and Messi seeking their mark on history.
Spain arrived in North America as European champions and there was little question as to whether they deserved to be considered as a contender. They won Group H without losing, drawing 0-0 with Cabo Verde before beating Saudi Arabia 4-0, the tournament opener for Lamine Yamal at the World Cup, then going 1-0 past Uruguay.
Spain's knockout matches required stronger performances, which they delivered against Austria (3-0) and Portugal (1-0), the latter decided by a stoppage-time winner from Mikel Merino against Cristiano Ronaldo. They had to do more in the quarter-finals against Belgium, as Fabián Ruiz's goal was evened out by Charles De Ketelaere (the only goal allowed by Spain throughout the tournament) and it was left to Mikel Merino again as a substitute to score 2-1.
Their biggest performance was in the semi-final. France had beaten all their opponents and were on the scoreboard regularly but this time, Luis de la Fuente's side kept them quiet. A 22nd minute penalty won by Yamal was scored by Mikel Oyarzabal, Pedro Porro put up a 2-0 lead early in the second half with a one-two pass involving Dani Olmo, then Kylian Mbappé had very little to work with. Spain have made their way into their first World Cup final since 2010, when they won their only title, having only conceded one goal during the tournament.
Argentina made their way to the final the hard way as they defended the World Cup title, a tournament which has come down to a knockout game. The group winners in Group J beat Algeria 3-0, Austria 2-0 and Jordan 3-1, but it was then that the tension arrived. A dramatic extra-time victory over debutants Cape Verde — by 3-2 — followed in the Round of 32, while in the last 16 Argentina staged an incredible comeback in the final 15 minutes to score three goals and overcome a 2-0 deficit to beat Egypt 3-2 (it started with a penalty saved from Messi). They also made it three games in a row with extra time when Switzerland were knocked out in the quarter-finals (thanks to a brilliant Julián Álvarez goal and a late Lautaro Martínez goal in a 3-1 victory) before reaching the semi-finals — with England's Anthony Gordon putting them in front, only to find a thunderbolt from Enzo Fernández equalise, and Lautaro Martínez scoring a stoppage-time winner from a Messi cross to seal a 2-1 win and another World Cup final.

MetLife Stadium, which has a capacity of over 82,000, will host the final of what will surely be the greatest ever World Cup. Whatever the outcome, one of these two teams — Spain and Argentina — will leave New York/New Jersey in July 2026 as world champions.
Not many finals will have as fascinating a storyline. Two reigning champions (Europe and the world) meet. The most controlled team against the most ruthless team in the tournament. And most of all, the players fans really wanted to see face off. On one side, 19-year-old Lamine Yamal has been a revelation in Spain's winning campaign as well as the beating heart of a side that has only conceded a solitary goal in six games. On the other, Lionel Messi, level for the top of the Golden Boot tally and at 39-years-old chasing a perfect sendoff from what's set to be his last ever World Cup.
The two teams have come through this competition on slightly different terms though. Spain have cruised thanks to excellent midfield control from Pedri, an untroubled defence and a bench that scored both Merino's crucial goals. Argentina, on the other hand, have had to rely on sheer resilience — they've come from behind, they've had to survive extra-time twice and find a late-game hero each time, whether it be Álvarez, Lautaro or Enzo Fernández, all of them stepping up to the mark alongside Messi.
That's the reason the final is so exciting to us fans. Spain's cool composure set up against Argentina's refusal to give up and their starlet against their living legend. Europe and South America will be settled. If it's the former, Spain adds a second world title and can claim to be the best of all time. But for Argentina they would add a back-to-back title and it would be the sendoff of all sendoffs for Messi. And what a more glorious way to conclude an exceptional tournament.
Spain have not lost in six games, while just one goal has been conceded during that time, their unbeaten streak spanning a new team record of over 35 matches. They have won each of their knock-out pairings, both on the strength of a late substitute goal from Merino. Argentina are also undefeated but have been pushed to the limit in every knockout encounter, advancing via extra time on two occasions as well as from a two-goal deficit. The tournament's stingiest backline faces its toughest opposition yet — and should this game go to penalties, we've got two of the finest goalkeepers in the game in Unai Simón and Emiliano Martínez in the running.
