The top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance to a Round of 32 — a new knockout stage that precedes the Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and final. In total, the tournament spans 104 matches across 16 host cities in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The final takes place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on July 19. For the latest tournament news and squad updates, visit the World Cup 2026 hub.
