Just two teams remain in the 2026 World Cup ahead of the final on Sunday.
Two footballing powerhouses are set to square off: Spain and Argentina, the current holders.
When is the final?
The 2026 World Cup final will kick off at 9:00pm on Sunday July 19th.
How can I watch in Norway?
NRK (NRK1, NRK2, and NRK3) and TV 2 shared the broadcasting rights for the 2026 World Cup, so matches have alternated between the two networks.
While NRK is the state broadcaster and is completely free to watch (Free-to-Air), TV 2 is a commercial network, meaning access requires a paid subscription depending on your TV package.
Fortunately, NRK has the rights to the final and will be free to air on NRK 1 at 9pm.
Meanwhile, the third-place play-off will be broadcast live on NRK1 on Saturday July 18th at 11pm.

Streaming
If you don’t have a regular TV package or want to watch on your phone, tablet, or smart TV, here are some other options.
All NRK matches will be streamed for free in Norway using the NRK TV app (available for iOS and Android) or website.
To watch TV 2’s matches, you’ll need a subscription to the TV 2 Play streaming platform.
TV 2 Play is only available to permanent residents of Norway, as you need a Norwegian mobile number, a permanent address, and a payment card issued by a Norwegian bank.
For those looking for an all-in-one package, streaming services like Strim and Allente are among the easiest integrated solutions.
These services combine both NRK and TV 2 channels into a single app.
Radio
If you’re in the car, at work, or outdoors during late-night matches, NRK has exclusive radio rights. You can listen to all matches on NRK Sport or the NRK Radio app.
Watching the matches at local bars
Numerous bars, local venues, and special public screening zones authorised by local municipalities are showing the matches across the country.
However, if you are planning to head out or are visiting Norway to watch the clashes you should do so well in advance, as many venues are expected to fill up quickly.
