## Summary

WIRED’s article is a practical viewing guide to the closing stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, centred on England’s semi-final against Argentina. It explains when the remaining matches will be played and how audiences can watch them, at a point when the enlarged tournament is nearly over and only four teams remain. The piece matters because FIFA expects this to be its most watched World Cup yet, making the final week a major global broadcast event.

The tournament has been hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico, but the last four teams are France, Spain, England and Argentina. France v Spain is scheduled for 3 pm ET on Tuesday 14 July, and England v Argentina for 3 pm ET on Wednesday 15 July, followed by the third-place play-off on Saturday 18 July and the final on Sunday 19 July in the New York/New Jersey stadium. The guide says viewers in the US can watch via Fox Sports or streaming services including FoxOne, YouTube TV, Fubo, Hulu Live and Peacock for Spanish coverage; it also notes that this is the first 48-team World Cup and that FIFA reported more than 6.2 million in-person attendees by the quarter-final stage.
