Ding Liren has the white pieces in the final classical game today.

Tiebreaks format at World Chess Championship
Here are the tiebreak rules for the World Chess Championship:
The tiebreaks see a four-game playoff where each player has just 15 minutes on the clock and earn an increment of 10 seconds for every move.
If these four games do not yield a winner, the games get faster: a two-game playoff with both players having just 10 minutes (with five seconds increment per move).
If even at this stage, we do not have a winner, the games gets frantically quick: a two-game playoff with a time control of three minutes per player (with two-second increments per move).
After this both players will play single games in three minutes (with two-second increments) time control until someone wins.
