How to watch France vs Spain live: World Cup stream link, TV channel, team news, prediction

A ticket to the 2026 World Cup Final will be punched Tuesday in Texas, where Kylian Mbappe's France look to hold off Lamine Yamal and Spain in a sensational semifinal.

Or maybe we should say Les Bleus will try to hold off Mikel Merino and Spain, as Arsenal's super sub has delivered huge goals for La Roja including the decisive tally against Belgium in the quarterfinals.

Didier Deschamps' France are seeking to become the first nation to reach three-straight finals since 1990, after handling Morocco 2-0 in their quarterfinal.

Mbappe is chasing the Golden Boot, currently level with Lionel Messi on eight goals to lead the tournament. Teammate and reigning Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele has five goals, while Mikel Oyarzabal leads Spain with four.

Mbappe and Dembele get a lot of the love — and rightly so — but two other players have really made their names pop this tournament. Midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has given Les Bleus a foothold in the middle of the park, while Michael Olise's playmaking class is oozing off the pitch. Aston Villa's Lucas Digne has also taken his chance to shine and run with it.

Only Messi and Mbappe have taken more shots than Lamine Yamal at this tournament, but the 19-year-old has just one goal. He hasn't been poor, however, and many are expecting a breakthrough game for the Barcelona teenager. Spain's stars have been in possession and defense, as Rodri, Pau Cubarsi, and Aymeric Laporte have helped keep Unai Simon in position to thrive between the posts.

Only in Mbappe's world could FIFA's #2 ranked team upsetting their #3 ranked team be considered an upset, but we're thinking that's an intriguing proposition from this meeting of the world's last two Ballon d'Or winners. France 1-2 Spain.
