Watch Spain vs Argentina live streams in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey. 
The showpiece fixture offers the tantalizing prospect of Lionel Messi facing his heir as Barcelona's golden boy, Lamine Yamal, with World Cup glory on the line. 
Spain wonderkid Yamal wasn't even born when Messi played at his first World Cup in 2006, but he now has the chance to get one over the Argentina superstar. 
Spain have conceded just one goal all tournament, while Argentina were pushed all the way in each of their four knockout ties. 
It promises to be a final of contrasting styles, as the Albiceleste aim to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to retain the trophy, while La Roja look to follow up European Championship glory with World Cup success for the second time in two decades, having done so in 2008 and 2010.

Will Spain or Argentina win? 
Spain head into the final as favourites, thanks to their excellent defensive record and impressive semi-final victory over highly-fancied France. 
The Euro 2024 champions have not lost for 37 games and will break the European record for the longest unbeaten run by a men's international team if they beat Argentina. 
World Cup holders Argentina have not always been pretty during the tournament, but they have that priceless ability to pull victory from the jaws of defeat. 
Lionel Scaloni's men produced late comebacks to beat Egypt in the last 16 and England in the semi-final, while they have won their last three major tournaments. 
Oh, and did we mention some guy called Messi? 
Having the best player of all time certainly helps. 
What is the weather at New Jersey Stadium for World Cup final? 
The final takes place at 3pm ET in New Jersey, so expect it to be a hot one. 
Temperatures are forecast to be 86F (30C) at kick-off.
