2026 FIFA World Cup knockout stage

Stage in FIFA World Cup From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. Played from June 28 to July 19, 2026, the knockout stage will end with the final, to be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[1] The top two teams from each of the twelve groups, along with the best eight third-place teams, have advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination tournament. There are 32 matches in the knockout stage, including a match for third place.[2]

Format

The knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be contested between 32 teams that qualify from the group stage. Matches in the knockout stage will be played to a finish. If the score of a match is level at the end of 90 minutes of playing time, 30 minutes of extra time will be played. If the scores are still tied, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout.[2] All times listed are local.[1]

In the round of 32, four of the group winners play group runners-up. The other eight group winners play advancing third-place teams. The eight remaining group runners-up play against each other.

FIFA set out the following schedule for the round of 32:[2]

  • Match 73: Runner-up Group A vs Runner-up Group B

Combinations of matches in the round of 32

The specific matchups involving the third-place teams depend on which eight third-place teams qualify for the round of 32. The 495 possible combinations were published in Annex C of the tournament regulations.[2]

The following eight groups had their third-place teams finish in the top eight of the ranking: B, D, E, F, I, J, K, and L. According to the combinations table, the matchups involving third-place teams were therefore as follows:[2]

  • 1A (Mexico) vs 3E (Ecuador)
