How to watch FIFA World Cup games today 
Watch Spain vs. 
Argentina 
Argentina are the defending champions, but they've largely relied on late goals to make the final. 
Spain didn't hit their best form in the group stage, but they've built momentum with some big wins in the knockout rounds, including an impressive victory over favorites France. 
Neither side is coming into this clash as real favorites, and we expect the final to be decided by a moment of brilliance or a mistake. 
Live coverage will be on Fox and Fox One . 
Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.
