The Spain vs. Argentina World Cup final airs Sunday, July 19, at 3 p.m. ET on FOX in English and Telemundo in Spanish, from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Streamers can watch in English on FOX One or the FOX Sports app, and in Spanish on Peacock, which carries the Telemundo feed — plus any live-TV service that includes FOX and Telemundo, several of which offer free trials.
Pregame plans matter for this one: the closing ceremony begins around 1:30 p.m. ET, about 90 minutes before kickoff, with Jennifer Hudson performing the U.S. national anthem before the teams’ anthems. Confirmed lineups land around 2 p.m. ET.

Watching Free
FOX One and Peacock have both been available via free trials or bundled through third-party providers (Peacock comes free with some Walmart+ plans), and YouTube TV and DirecTV trials cover the broadcast channels — enough routes to watch Sunday for $0.
The Full Day
The bronze final — France vs. England — airs Saturday at 5 p.m. ET on the same FOX/Telemundo pairing, making it a full championship weekend on one channel set.
If It Goes Long
Budget for extra time and penalties: a tied final means up to 30 added minutes plus a shootout, and recent finals (2022 included) have gone the distance.
The Bottom Line
FOX or FOX One in English, Telemundo or Peacock in Spanish, 3 p.m. ET Sunday. For your local start time anywhere in the world, see the kickoff time by time zone, and for the team news, the predicted lineups.
