The final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will see the first team to win twice in the 21st century.

A Argentine victory will equal Germany and Italy with four titles, while Spain seeks its second title and will maintain 100% in finals.

Who will be the champion?

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will have its first team to win twice in the 21st century on Sunday. Argentina defends its 2022 title, won in Qatar, while Spain tries to repeat its 2010 feat in South Africa. Whatever the result of the final at the New York/New Jersey Stadium, the sequence of six different champions will come to an end.

Since then, only Brazil and France have reached the next final as defending champions: the Brazilians lost to the French in 1998, and the French were beaten by the Argentines in 2022.
