The final Group H match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup takes place on 26 June at Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Mexico.

The match is officiated by U.S. referee Ismail Elfath.

Live coverage is available on TV and streaming platforms in several countries, including CazéTV (YouTube), TV Globo (Brazil), Chilevisión (Chile), and major services such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+ and DAZN. A win for Spain would guarantee progression as group winners; a Uruguay victory could propel the Celeste into the round of 16, depending on other results.
