What is the 2026 FIFA World Cup format?
The World Cup draw on Dec. 5 separated 48 teams into 12 groups of four teams each. Each team will play three games in the group stage, one against every team in its group.
The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage, as in previous years. But the expansion of the tournament from 32 teams will create an additional round of knockout matches. Instead of 16 teams advancing to the first knockout round, as has been the case since 1998, there will be 32 making it out of the group stage.
That means not only will all 12 group winners and 12 second-place teams advance, but also the eight best third-place teams. The specific matchups for the round of 32 will depend on which groups the eight third-place teams emerge from.
The knockout stage consists of a series of winner-take-all matches, all the way through to the final. If a match is tied after full time, 30 minutes of added extra time are played as two 15-minute halves, with a penalty shootout as the ultimate decider.
