The winners progress to the quarter-finals later in the week at one of Gillette Stadium\, SoFi Stadium\, Hard Rock Stadium or Arrowhead Stadium. The match is part of the second knockout round in the expanded 48-team tournament. \nWhat is the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16?\nThe Round of 16 is the second knockout round at the 2026 FIFA World Cup\, following the new Round of 32 introduced for the expanded 48-team format. It narrows the field from 16 teams to eight across eight single-elimination matches played over four days between 4 and 7 July. The winners advance to the quarter-finals on 9 to 12 July. \nThe match lasts 90 minutes of regulation with stoppage time added. If the teams are level at full-time\, 30 minutes of extra time are played\, followed by a penalty shootout if still tied. Five substitutes are permitted during regulation plus an additional substitution in extra time. VAR\, goal-line technology and semi-automated offside detection are all in operation throughout. \nWhen is the FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 16 match?\nThe match kicks off at 12:00 Eastern Time on Tuesday 7 July 2026\, which is 17:00 BST in the United Kingdom\, 18:00 CEST across most of continental Europe\, 09:00 on the US West Coast\, and 01:00 on Wednesday 8 July in Tokyo.
