Anticipation is building for the 2026 World Cup final, which will see Spain face Argentina this Sunday, July 19th. The match, taking place at the MetLife Stadium in New York, can be followed in the Canary Islands starting at 8:00 PM. The Spanish team, current European champions and World Cup finalists, aims to conclude a historic cycle against the reigning world champions.
Live television broadcast will be free on La 1 and Teledeporte, and online via RTVE Play. Additionally, the game will be available on DAZN and the DAZN Mundial channel on platforms like Movistar Plus+ and Orange TV.
For those wishing to experience the excitement together, numerous giant screens have been set up in Gran Canaria. In the capital, the Plaza de Canarias will be a key meeting point. Other municipalities such as Telde (Parque San Juan Auditorium), the south (San Agustín Beach, Arguineguín), the north (Gáldar, Teror, Valleseco), and the midlands (Santa Brígida, San Mateo, Valsequillo) will also offer spaces to enjoy the match.
In Tenerife, Santa Cruz de Tenerife will feature giant screens at the Cook Music Fest venue. La Laguna will provide five locations, including Plaza del Tranvía and Punta del Hidalgo. Arona will have three spots in Las Galletas, Los Cristianos, and Valle San Lorenzo. Other municipalities like La Orotava (Plaza del Quinto Centenario) and Puerto de la Cruz (Plaza del Charco) are also joining the celebration.
Should they win, each of the 26 players on the Spanish squad would receive a bonus of approximately 755,000 euros gross. FIFA will award 44 million euros to the champion federation, of which 45% will be distributed among the players. If Spain finishes as runner-up, the individual bonus would be around 440,000 euros gross.
