The FIFA World Cup 2026 comes down to one match this weekend, and Noida is not sitting this one out. Spain take on Argentina in the final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, 19 July. For us in Noida, that means kickoff lands well past midnight, so the real action for local fans starts Sunday night and runs into the early hours of Monday, 20 July.
Here is the exact kickoff across time zones, followed by where to watch the final live in Noida with entry details we have checked ourselves rather than lifted from a listing page. For everything else happening around the city this weekend, our full guide to things to do in Noida, 17 to 19 July has the rest covered.
Kickoff Time: Spain vs Argentina, FIFA World Cup 2026 Final
| City | Kickoff | Date |
|---|---|---|
| New York | 3pm | Sunday, 19 July |
| Madrid | 9pm | Sunday, 19 July |
| Buenos Aires | 4pm | Sunday, 19 July |
| Noida / India | 12.30am | Monday, 20 July |
Spain arrive at the final having leaned on a settled midfield and a defence that has barely been breached all tournament. Argentina, still built around Lionel Messi, got here the harder way, grinding out emotional knockout wins over Egypt, Switzerland and England. It is the first World Cup final ever played between the two nations, which is reason enough for Noida’s football crowd to stay up for it.

A quick honesty note before the listings: a couple of venues doing the rounds on social media for this final, including one farmhouse property in the Sector 134 belt, do not have a live, bookable event page anywhere as of writing. We have stuck to venues we could verify directly, so that is what follows.
Ikigai Farm, Sector 134: The Final Whistle
Ikigai Farm on Bandh Road, Nangla Nagli, is running an open-air screening called The Final Whistle from 10pm Sunday to 4am Monday, timed to carry the crowd well past the final whistle itself. Expect a giant LED screen, football-themed props and photo corners, and food and drinks available for purchase at the venue. Entry is 18 plus with a valid government photo ID, and tickets are on sale online. This is your pick if you want an outdoor, farmhouse-party energy rather than a bar screening.
Underdoggs Noida, Sector 62
Underdoggs at Binge Central, Candor TechSpace, Sector 62, has confirmed the final-night screening on its Instagram, after building up to it on its social channels for days now. The venue runs 10 plus HD screens and projectors across an indoor and open-air layout, which makes it one of the more comfortable stadium-style setups in the city. Entry is a 1,500 rupee cover charge per person, fully redeemable against food and drinks, with screening starting from 12.30am. Tables are limited, so it is worth reserving ahead rather than walking in.
Underdoggs sits inside Binge Central, the Sector 62 entertainment hub we walked through in detail in our Binge Central visit guide, if you want to scope out the rest of the space before the final.
Basko, Sector 104
Basko in Sector 104 has confirmed the final-night screening on its Instagram, continuing on from its France vs Spain semi-final screening. Booking directly with the venue gets you in for a ₹499 cover charge. Note that if you book via the District listing instead, it shows a ₹99 solo ticket price, but that only secures your spot — an additional ₹500 cover charge is payable at the gate, working out more expensive than booking direct. The District listing also misprints the sector as 110; Basko is at Starling Mall, Sector 104. Expect the same rooftop, big-screen setup along with their usual dining and cocktails menu.
District9, Sector 33-A: World Cup Finals Fans Meet
District9 in Sector 33-A is hosting a dedicated Fans Meet for the final, kicking off with the match at 12.30am on 20 July. The venue is running 24/7 that night, so there is no rush to arrive right at kickoff. Come in your team colours if you have them, since the whole point of the meet-up is a proper crowd atmosphere rather than a quiet screening. For entry details or table bookings, contact District9 directly at +91 9220508145.
Tahia, Sector 104: The Eliot Hotel
Tahia, on the sixth floor of The Eliot Hotel in Sector 104, is billing itself as the biggest screen in Noida for the final, with proceedings starting from 11.30pm on Sunday, ahead of the 12.30am kickoff. Expect a rooftop-hotel setting with food and drinks through the night. Given the hotel setting, this is a good pick if you want the final in a slightly more upscale environment than a bar crowd. For reservations, call +91 99199 15908 or +91 9971770360.
CAD, Sector 94
CAD, the microbrewery inside BPTP Capital City in Sector 94, is screening the final with its usual craft beer and food menu. This is one for the beer-first crowd rather than a pure sports-bar setup, so expect fresh brews on tap alongside the match. For reservations, call +91 9650320051 or +91 9650320053.
Hydrama, Sector 50
Hydrama in Sector 50 is running a giant-screen final-night screening with food and drinks to match. It’s a straightforward, high-energy pick if Sector 50 is more convenient for you than the Sector 62 or 94 clusters. For reservations, call 9355511649 or 9355511650.
Studio XO, Sector 94
Studio XO, also in Sector 94, is running a live screening built around big-screen viewing and a loud, communal crowd atmosphere, with food and drinks through the night. If CAD’s beer-garden vibe isn’t quite what you’re after, this is the other Sector 94 option worth weighing. For reservations, call 7428903222 or 7428952777.
Molecule, Sector 98: SkymarkOne
Molecule, on the 5th floor of SkymarkOne in Sector 98, is one of Noida’s more popular restaurant-bar spots and is screening the final too. Reservations are recommended given how busy this venue typically runs on weekends alone. Cover charge details had not come back from the venue as of writing, so call ahead to confirm before you plan around it. For reservations, call +91 8743 007373.
Update: 19 July, 2026 | 2pm – There’s no cover charges, it will be first come first serve.
The Sky High, Sector 98: SkymarkOne
The Sky High sits on the 5th floor of SkymarkOne in Sector 98, in the same building as Molecule but run by a completely different team, so don’t mix the two up when booking. Screening starts 12.30am Monday onward, with rooftop views, food, and drinks, and the venue lists a cost of roughly ₹5000 for two. It leans more toward an elegant, scenic rooftop setting than a high-energy party crowd. For reservations, call +91 920 515 9990 or +91 920 515 9991.
SMAAASH, Sector 18: DLF Mall of India
SMAAASH at DLF Mall of India, Sector 18, is running a final-night screening through District, with giant screens, food and beverage packages, and fan giveaways through the night. Gates open at 11pm, giving you a comfortable window before kickoff. This is a good pick if you want an indoor, family-friendly-leaning venue with proper seating rather than a rooftop bar crowd. Book on District.
Pebbles, Sector 115
Pebbles in Sector 115 is running a ticketed final screening from 11.30pm Sunday to 3am Monday, priced from ₹300 onwards on District. It is a restaurant-ambience, indoor, seated setup, and the listing notes seats are limited, so book ahead rather than walking in on the night. Book on District.
Dearie, Gardens Galleria, Sector 38
Dearie Bar, Brewery and Kitchen at Gardens Galleria Mall in Sector 38 is running a ticketed screening called The Last Dance from 11pm Sunday to 1am Monday, priced from ₹500 onwards on District. Entry is 18 plus, indoor, with freshly brewed beer as the draw alongside the match. Book on District.
Big Screen, Cinema Style: Multiplex Final Screenings
If you would rather watch the final on a proper cinema screen than in a bar crowd, six Noida multiplexes have advance bookings open for Argentina vs Spain, with showtimes lined up to start just before kickoff.
| Cinema | Showtime | Format |Booking |
|---|---|
| PVR Superplex, Mall of India Sector 18 | 11pm Standard Cancellation allowed |
| PVR Superplex, Logix City Centre Sector 32 | 11.30pm Standard Cancellation allowed |
| 1 Cinemas, Spectrum Metro Sector 75 | 11.55pm 2K Laser 7.1 Atmos Cancellation allowed |
| Cinepolis, Spice Mall (Modi Mall) Sector 25A | 11.50pm 2K Laser Dolby 7.1 Non-cancellable |
| Miraj Cinemas, The Great India Place (TGIP) Sector 38A | 11.55pm Standard Cancellation allowed |
| MovieTime, Dharam Palace Mall Sector 18 | 11.55pm Dolby 7.1 (2K) Non-cancellable |
Book through District or BookMyShow, since that is where these listings are live as of writing. Check the cancellation policy before you pay, since a couple of these are non-refundable once booked. 1 Cinemas at Spectrum Metro is also running its own themed screening with surround sound and food packages, so it is worth checking their Spectrum Metro listing directly if you want the full event experience rather than just a standard show.
If the late night knocks your Monday around, Noida’s swimming pools guide is a good place to plan a lazy lap or two to recover.
If You Would Rather Not Stay Up in Noida
PVR INOX and other multiplex chains have been running late-night theatre screenings for the big knockout matches this tournament, bookable through BookMyShow, District and Ticketnew, so check whether your nearest Noida multiplex has added a final-night show. If you are open to driving out, Gurgaon has multiple ticketed screenings running past midnight as well. JioCinema is carrying a free live stream if you would rather watch from home with the volume up. A few more established NCR sports bars, including Ministry of Daru in Sector 63, The Irish House at DLF Mall of India, and Barrack 62, are likely running screenings too given their regular football crowd, but none had a final-specific listing live as of writing, so call ahead before you head out. If a 12.30am kickoff throws off your weekend fitness plans, our running, walking and cycling events guide for Noida has plenty of later slots to make up for the lost sleep.
This is just one night on the calendar. For the full sweep of what’s on across the city this year, our complete Noida events guide for 2026 is the one to bookmark.
