2026 World Cup Quarterfinals: Teams, Matchups, and Schedule
The round of 32 has wrapped up, leaving just eight teams fighting for the trophy. The tournament saw some surprises: none of the host countries—United States, Mexico, or Canada—made it past this stage. Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup journey also came to an end, but the competition remains fierce with many stars still on the pitch.
After a rest day on July 8, the quarterfinals begin on July 9, with the intensity expected to surge as teams edge closer to the semifinals.
