Where to watch World Cup final in London: Best pubs and sports bars for Spain vs. Argentina

England's 2026 World Cup campaign came to an end on Thursday, July 15 after Thomas Tuchel's side suffered a 2-1 defeat against defending champions Argentina.

The Three Lions reached the semi-final stage for just the fourth time in their history after knockout victories over DR Congo, Mexico and Norway, but they were unable to overcome Lionel Scaloni's side in the semi-final.

England will now face France in the third-place playoff on Saturday evening, meaning their supporters will not have the chance to watch their team compete in Sunday's final.

However, for those looking to enjoy the biggest game of the tournament, FootballGroundGuide have put together a list of the best pubs and sports bars in London showing Spain vs Argentina.
