Knockout Stages

This is FIFA 2026’s most significant change. In the past, 32 teams entered the knockout stage. This time, 48 teams start the tournament, and 32 survive the group stage to reach the knockouts. That means there’s a brand new round added called the Round of 32—something fans have never seen at a World Cup before.
All knockout stage matches from the quarter-finals onward are played in the United States only. Earlier knockout rounds are spread across all three host countries.
