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.
At a Glance: FIFA Final Screenings in Noida
| Venue | Sector |
|---|---|
| Ikigai Farm — The Final Whistle | Sector 134 |
| Underdoggs Noida | Sector 62 |
| Basko | Sector 104 |
| District9 — Fans Meet | Sector 33-A |
| Multiplex screenings (Cinepolis, Miraj, MovieTime) | Sectors 18, 25A, 38A |
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 story, continuing on from its France vs Spain semi-final screening, which ran on a straightforward INR 499 cover charge at the gate. Expect the same rooftop, big-screen setup along with their usual dining and cocktails menu. A live ticket page was not up as of writing, so it is worth a quick call to lock in the cover charge and entry time before you head over.
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.
Big Screen, Cinema Style: Multiplex Final Screenings
If you would rather watch the final on a proper cinema screen than in a bar crowd, three Noida multiplexes have advance bookings open for Argentina vs Spain, all with a 11.50pm to 11.55pm start to line up with kickoff.
| Cinema | Location | Showtime | Format | Booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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, since that is where these listings are live as of writing. Check the cancellation policy before you pay, since two of the three are non-refundable once booked.
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.
