The 2022 FIFA World Cup will conclude on Monday, December 19, with a blockbuster final between Argentina and France at Lusail Stadium.
Kicking off at 2:00am AEDT, viewers can catch the action live and free on SBS and SBS On Demand.
Argentina got off to a rocky start when they went down 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their Group C opener, but recovered with wins over Mexico and Poland to finish first and set up a Round of 16 clash with Australia.
A 2-1 win over Australia led to a win on penalties over the Netherlands in the quarter-final. La Albiceleste then swept Croatia aside 3-0 in the semi-final to return to the final for the first time since 2014.
Entering the tournament as the defending champions, France topped Group D with wins over Australia and Denmark. Led by Kylian Mbappe, Les Bleus dispatched Poland in the Round of 16 and England in the quarter-final before a relatively calm victory over Morocco in the semi-final.
