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.

- 4 months ago WIRED published a guide to the last week of the 2026 World Cup, highlighting England’s semi-final against Argentina, listing the remaining fixtures and US viewing options, and noting that the first 48-team tournament had drawn more than 6.2 million spectators by the quarter-final stage.
Explained simply
The FIFA World Cup is the leading international football tournament, held every four years and contested by national teams. In 2026 it expanded from 32 to 48 teams and was staged across the United States, Canada and Mexico, bringing a larger number of matches and host cities.
England and Argentina are two of football’s best-known national sides, with a long history in the competition and notable past meetings. A semi-final decides which team reaches the final, while the losing side normally plays a separate match to determine third place.
Matches at this stage attract large television audiences around the world, so broadcasters and streaming services hold rights to show them in different countries. Kick-off times are often published in the host city’s time zone, meaning viewers elsewhere may need to check the local conversion and which service carries the match.
