The end of The biggest World Cup in history is almost here. After 100 games, there are only four teams left and two more games to play.

The tournament has been organized by three countries: Mexico, Canada and the United States. All of those host countries are now out of the race. The final teams are France, Spain, England and Argentina. Those teams will play two more games: one to determine who comes in third place and a final match to decide the winner and runner-up.

Heading into this year’s World Cup, FIFA anticipated it would be the most-watched tournament in the organization’s history. When the tournament advanced to the quarterfinals earlier this month, FIFA said more than 6.2 million people had attended matches in person, “while millions more follow the action through digital platforms, broadcasts and fan experiences in host cities and around the world.”

You can find the full schedule, which by default corresponds to your local time zone, on the FIFA website.

Here’s how to watch the final games.

End

The final match of the World Cup will be Spain vs Argentina in 3 pm EDT in Sunday July 19 at New York/New Jersey Stadium.

The game will also feature the first Super Bowl-style halftime show in World Cup history, with performances by Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, BTS and Gustavo Dudamel. As the name implies, it’s likely to arrive right in the middle of the broadcast, so try to watch it around 4 pm EDT on July 19.

Elimination for third place

Third place is decided by a match between the two losing teams from the semifinals. France and England They will face each other for the bronze title in 5 pm EDT in Saturday July 18 at Miami Stadium in Miami.

Where to stream

If you have satellite TV or cable service, you can watch the final kickoffs live on television through Fox Sports in the U.S. The games are also available on the FoxOne streaming service for $20 a month.

FIFA has teamed up with YouTube as its “preferred partner” to stream the games. You’ll need the YouTube TV Sports plan, which currently costs $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 broadcasts all games in Spanish. You can find all the official stations on the FIFA website.

New competition

This World Cup has been huge in terms of competition as it is the first to include 48 teams in the tournament instead of 32 in previous World Cups. Given the greater number of teams, the structure of how the competition was run was different to past World Cups. First, countries were classified into groups (labeled with letters A to L) and played matches in the First Stage within those groups.

The winners of those matches met in the stage called the round of 32 and were then eliminated in the round of 16. After that, the winners moved on to the quarterfinals, which concluded last weekend. The semi-finals concluded with Argentina beating England on Wednesday, July 15.
