The game will be broadcast live on TV on UNIVERSO, FOX, Peacock, and Telemundo; and is available to stream online live through Sling TV and fuboTV.
How to watch the FIFA Women’s World Cup match between Spain and England, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Spain Women and England Women will be looking to lift their maiden Women’s World Cup trophy, but there can be only one winner in Sunday’s final showdown at Stadium Australia.
La Roja are vying for their first major trophy, their previous best being a third-place finish at the 1997 UEFA Women’s Championship. Apart from the 4-0 defeat to Japan, Jorge Vilda’s side had a memorable run and overcame Sweden 2-1 in the semi-finals.
On the other hand, England pretty much swept through the group stage but had to rely on a shoot-out victory over Nigeria in the round of 16.
However, that didn’t stop Sarina Wiegman from reaching her fourth straight final in a major tournament as the Lionesses defeated co-hosts Australia 3-1 in the last four.
Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channels, streaming details, and more.

Team News and Squads
Spain Women Team News
Alba Redondo and Salma Paralluelo will not mind enduring a little pain to feature in a World Cup final, even if it means coming on as substitutes.
Redondo, Aitana Bonmati, and Jennifer Hermoso are two goals behind the leading Golden Boot contender in Japan’s Hinata Miyazawa.
It’s a perfect time for Oihane Hernandez to return from suspension as well, although Olga Carmona is more likely to start in the back four, while Esther Gonzalez will fancy her chances of starting up front.

England Women Team News
England boss Wiegman will have a tough decision to make choosing between Ella Toone and Lauren James, the latter returning from a suspension, to feature just behind Lauren Hemp in the attack.
James may have to make way for the currently in-form Toone, which would make for an unchanged line-up from the Australia win.
Hemp, James, and Alessia Russo, with three goals to their name, are also among those chasing the Golden Boot award.
England Women possible XI: Earps; Carter, Bright, Greenwood; Bronze, Stanway, Walsh, Daly; Toone; Russo, Hemp
