The 2026 international football tournament final is set. Spain will face Argentina on 19 July at MetLife Stadium.

Spain vs Argentina head-to-head record

Spain and Argentina have met 14 times in their history, and the record could hardly be closer - six wins each and two draws. Few international rivalries are as evenly balanced, which is part of what makes this final so hard to call.

Because Spain compete in Europe and Argentina in South America, the two sides rarely cross paths in competitive fixtures, so most of those 14 games have been friendlies. Their only previous meeting at the tournament itself came in the 1966 group stage, when Argentina ran out 2-1 winners. That makes this a genuine first. Never before have these nations gone head to head with the biggest football trophy on the line.

Head-to-head form is only part of the picture in a one-off final, where nerves form on the day and a single moment can decide everything. For the final odds, the full knockout bracket and a complete guide on how to place your bets, visit our 2026 international football tournament betting page.
