Eight years after the hosts were announced, the final of the 2026 World Cup is right around the corner as Spain and Argentina compete for glory in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
This summer's expanded 48-team tournament has 13 different kick-off times, with almost 50% of the group stage matches kicking off after midnight in the UK so keeping track of who is playing and when will be tougher at this World Cup than in recent editions.
Here, ESPN breaks down who is playing when, and how you can watch them.
