The end of the biggest World Cup ever is almost here. Following 100 matches, there are just four teams left and four more games to play.
The tournament has been hosted by three countries: Mexico, Canada, and the US. All of those host countries are now out of the running. The final teams are France, Spain, England, and Argentina. Those teams will play two more semifinal games, another game to determine who gets third place and a final match to end it all.
Going into this year’s World Cup, FIFA anticipated that it would be the most watched tournament in the organization’s history. As the tournament moved into the quarterfinals earlier this month, FIFA noted that more than more than 6.2 million people had attended matches in person, “while millions more follow the action across digital platforms, broadcast, and fan experiences in host cities and around the world.”
You can find the full schedule, which defaults to your local time zone, on the FIFA website.
Here’s how to watch the final games.
Semifinals
France vs. Spain, at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, Texas — 3 pm ET on Tuesday July 14
England vs. Argentina, at Atlanta Stadium — 3 pm ET on Wednesday July 15
Third Place Playoff
The two losing teams of the semifinal matches will face off for the title of third place at 5 pm ET on Saturday, July 18, in the Miami Stadium in Miami, Florida.
Final
The World Cup final game is at 3 pm ET on Sunday, July 19, in the New York/New Jersey Stadium.
The game will also feature the first-ever Super Bowl–style halftime show in World Cup history, with performances from Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, BTS, and Gustavo Dudamel. As the name implies, that will likely land right in the middle of the broadcast, so aim to watch somewhere around 4 pm ET on July 19.
Where to Stream
If you have satellite TV or cable service, you can watch the final kickoffs live on TV via Fox Sports in the US. The games are also available on the FoxOne streaming service for $20 per month.
FIFA has partnered with YouTube as its “preferred partner” for streaming the games. You’ll need YouTube TV’s sports plan, which is currently $55 per month. Other paid options include Fubo ($46 per month) and Hulu’s live sports option ($90 per month).
In partnership with Telemundo, Peacock is streaming all of the games in Spanish. You can find all the official broadcasters on the FIFA website.
New Competition
This World Cup has been huge, competition-wise, as it is the first to include 48 teams in the tournament instead of the 32 for past World Cups. Given the increased number of teams, the structure for how the competition played out was different from past World Cups. Countries were first sorted into groups (labeled with letters A–L) and played out games in the First Stage within those groups.
Winners of those matches went on to duke it out in the stage called the Round of 32, then got whittled down in a Round of 16. After that, the winners moved on to the quarterfinals, which wrapped up last weekend.
