Finalissima Odds and Tournament Format
The Finalissima is a one-off match between the winners of the UEFA European Championship and the Copa América. Organised jointly by UEFA and CONMEBOL, it is an intercontinental match between the leading national teams of Europe and South America. There is no group stage or knockout bracket; the winner is decided in a single match.
The match was first expected in 2025, but was later scheduled for 27 March 2026 at Lusail Stadium in Qatar. UEFA and CONMEBOL have since cancelled the fixture. UEFA said the decision followed the political and security situation in the region, as well as the failure to agree on an alternative venue or a workable new date.
Several fallback options were discussed, including staging the match in Madrid, switching it to a two-leg format, or moving it to a neutral venue in Europe. None of those proposals led to an agreement, and the 2026 Finalissima will therefore not take place. No replacement match has been confirmed. Argentina remain the most recent winners after beating Italy in the 2022 edition.

FAQ

In the cancelled 2026 edition, the planned fixture was Spain vs Argentina, after Spain won UEFA EURO 2024 and Argentina won the 2024 Copa América.
The Finalissima does not follow an annual schedule. It is staged as a special one-off match between the current champions of Europe and South America, so its timing depends on the international calendar and agreement between UEFA and CONMEBOL.

You cannot watch the Finalissima in the UK in 2026 because the match has been cancelled and no replacement fixture has been confirmed. For reference, the 2022 edition was shown in the UK on Premier Sports 1, with streaming through Premier Player.
