26 World Cup 2026

How the knockout bracket works

The 2026 tournament introduces a Round of 32 before the familiar last-16, quarter-final, semi-final and final path. Knockout fixtures are shown as soon as the official data source publishes them. Teams marked as TBD are not missing data — those places will be confirmed after the group stage and best third-placed team rankings are complete.
