Results & Next Matches

The FIFA World Cup 2026 knockout stage is officially underway. The Round of 32 — a brand-new format introduced this tournament — is delivering drama in every time zone. Below is your complete look at today's results, yesterday's final scores, and every fixture still to come in this round.

What to watch: The next 48 hours could define how the Round of 16 bracket looks across three quadrants of the draw. If Germany, France, and Netherlands all advance as expected, the knockout rounds from July onwards will see the traditional European powers tested against the surviving African and South American sides.

Morocco's run to the semi-finals in Qatar proved that "expected outcomes" are irrelevant in a World Cup knockout tie. The same logic applies here — one bad half of football from any favourite and we could be looking at a very different Round of 16.

Meanwhile, Canada's 1-0 win over South Africa is already being called one of the standout results of the tournament for what it means to Canadian football history. Their Round of 16 assignment will be the real test of how far this side can go at a home World Cup.
