The 2026 FIFA World Cup final will take place on Sunday, July 19, 2026, in the United States, which is co-hosting the tournament alongside Canada and Mexico.
The tournament has introduced several innovations, many of them inspired by American sporting traditions, as the United States has hosted the majority of the matches in this 23rd edition of the FIFA World Cup.
This year, every player on the championship-winning team will receive a commemorative ring, following the tradition seen in leagues such as the NBA, NFL, and BAL.
The ring features an inscription identifying the FIFA World Cup champions on the top, while the opposite side displays an image of the World Cup trophy.
An initial batch of 2,026 rings has been produced. Of these, 30 rings will be awarded to members of the winning team, while the remaining 1,996 rings will be made available for fans to purchase. Although the official price has not yet been announced, the rings are reportedly expected to cost around $15,000 each.
FIFA’s decision comes years after French midfielder Paul Pogba bought championship rings for his France teammates in 2019 to commemorate their victory at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup Final will see Spain, who have won the tournament once, face Argentina, three-time world champions and the defending title holders. The match will kick off at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday at New Jersey Stadium.
