The final match of the 2026 World Cup has Spain and Argentina trying to lift the trophy, which comes with a huge prize money reward. For this competition, the winner is going to receive 50 million dollars. This comes thanks to the improved prize money pool, which increased by 50% from the previous edition to reach a total of 655 million dollars.

The teams in 9th to 16th place receive 15 million dollars, those who finish from 17th to 32nd get 11 million dollars, while teams from 33rd to 48th receive 9 million dollars. Minimum prize The entity also establishes a 1.5-million-dollar fee to cover preparation costs for this edition for every team. As the lowest positions get 9 million dollars, the minimum amount teams will receive in the competition is 10.5 million dollars, a sum that could be huge for some small federations that were part of it.
