How the 2026 World Cup Bracket Works (Format & Knockout Path)
The 2026 World Cup bracket adds a brand-new knockout round. Twelve groups of four played 72 group matches. The top 2 teams from each group advanced, and the 8 best third-placed teams joined them to fill a 32-team knockout bracket. The path then runs Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and the Final, with a third-place match the day before the final.
| Round | Dates | Matches |
|---|---|---|
| Round of 32 | June 28 to July 3 | 16 |
| Round of 16 | July 4 to 7 | 8 |
| Quarterfinals | July 9 to 11 | 4 |
| Semifinals | July 14 to 15 | 2 |
| Third-Place Match | July 18 | 1 |
| Final | July 19 | 1 |
The champion plays 8 matches in total, one more than every past winner. The new Round of 32 adds the extra game.
From the Round of 16 on, every tie is single-elimination. A match that is level after 90 minutes goes to extra time and, if still tied, a penalty shootout – exactly how Paraguay, Morocco and Egypt won their Round of 32 ties.

FAQ About the 2026 FIFA World Cup Bracket
How do I fill out the printable World Cup bracket?
Print the PDF and write in your picks. Every knockout slot is blank. Fill in the Round of 32 first, then move your winners forward round by round as the matches finish.
What paper size should I use, US Letter or A4?
Use US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) in the United States, Canada or Mexico. Use A4 (210 x 297 mm) in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, India or anywhere else. Both files show the same bracket. Pick Fit to Paper in your printer settings to avoid cut edges.
Which teams are in the World Cup 2026 quarterfinals?
Morocco, France and Norway are the first teams into the quarterfinals after their Round of 16 wins. Norway produced the shock of the round by beating Brazil 2-1. The rest of the quarterfinal spots are decided across July 5 to 7.
What happens if a knockout match ends in a draw?
A tie after 90 minutes goes to extra time, two 15-minute halves. If the teams are still level, a penalty shootout decides the winner. There are no replays in the knockout bracket.
How often is this World Cup bracket updated?
We update this bracket after every match. The results and matchups change as each knockout round finishes.
Can teams from the same group meet again later in the bracket?
Not in the Round of 32. FIFA blocks same-group rematches at that stage. The block lifts after that, so two teams from the same group can meet again from the Round of 16 onward.
