Football World Cup 2026 Quarter-Final Results

The quarter-finals are complete. France, Spain, England and holders Argentina came through the last eight, and for the first time in World Cup history the four highest-ranked teams entering the tournament fill all four semi-final places. The full results are below.

Date Fixture Result Venue
Thu 9 Jul France vs Morocco 2-0 Gillette Stadium, Boston
Fri 10 Jul Spain vs Belgium 2-1 SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles
Sat 11 Jul Norway vs England 1-2 (aet) Hard Rock Stadium, Miami
Sat 11 Jul Argentina vs Switzerland 3-1 (aet) Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City

France opened the round in Boston with a repeat of their 2022 semi-final win over Morocco. Kylian Mbappe saw a first-half penalty saved by Yassine Bounou, then made amends on the hour with a curling finish before laying on the second for Ousmane Dembele six minutes later. The 2-0 win sent France to a third consecutive World Cup semi-final, and Morocco's wait for a first last-four victory goes on.

Spain edged Belgium 2-1 in Los Angeles, with Mikel Merino once again the decisive figure after his stoppage-time winner against Portugal in the previous round. Belgium's goal was the first Spain had conceded all tournament, ending their record run of six consecutive World Cup clean sheets, but the European champions held on to book a heavyweight semi-final against France.

England needed extra time in Miami after Andreas Schjelderup's first-half strike put Norway ahead. Jude Bellingham levelled before the break and struck again in extra time to complete a 2-1 win, ending Erling Haaland's tournament a round after his double had eliminated Brazil. In Kansas City, Alexis Mac Allister put the holders ahead inside ten minutes and Dan Ndoye equalised for Switzerland, before Julian Alvarez restored Argentina's lead with a strike from outside the box in the 112th minute and Lautaro Martinez sealed a 3-1 extra-time win against ten men. England World Cup tickets and Argentina listings for the Atlanta semi-final are drawing the heaviest demand of the tournament so far.

World Cup 2026 Last-16 Results

The Round of 16 is complete. Holders Argentina produced the comeback of the tournament to beat Egypt, while Switzerland edged Colombia in the only shootout of the round. The full results are below.

Mon 6 Jul USA vs Belgium 1-4 Lumen Field, Seattle
Tue 7 Jul Argentina vs Egypt 3-2 Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
Tue 7 Jul Switzerland vs Colombia 0-0 (4-3 pens) BC Place, Vancouver

The round has already reshaped the tournament. Brazil, Portugal and all three host nations are out, following Germany and the Netherlands who fell in the round of 32. Cristiano Ronaldo's sixth and final World Cup ended in Dallas at the age of 41, having made him the first man to score at six different editions of the tournament. Egypt's exit was the cruellest of the round: Mohamed Salah's side led the holders 2-0 with 11 minutes to play before conceding three times, the winner arriving in the second minute of stoppage time.

Football World Cup 2026 Ticket Prices

World Cup ticket prices for the closing rounds vary by fixture, venue and seating category. With France against Spain and England against Argentina confirmed as the semi-finals, the market is at its strongest point of the tournament: two heavyweight ties between former world champions, followed by the final at MetLife Stadium. Semi-final and final listings sit at the top of the market, as they do at every World Cup.

Match Round Indicative Resale Range (GBP)
Semi-final £640 - £2,000
Third-place play-off £200 - £560
Final (MetLife Stadium) £1,200 - £4,000+

These are indicative resale ranges, not fixed prices. Live listings on 1BoxOffice may sit above or below these figures depending on supply and demand at any given time. With both semi-finals now named ties, prices are moving quickly, particularly for England against Argentina in Atlanta. Buyers with a preferred match should compare listings early rather than waiting for matchday.

Football World Cup 2026 Hospitality Packages

Hospitality and VIP packages are available at the remaining World Cup 2026 venues, offering a premium matchday experience. These typically include padded or club-level seating, access to a private lounge or restaurant area, pre-match dining and drinks and dedicated entrances.

Hospitality Tier Typical Resale Range (GBP)
Entry-level hospitality £400 - £960
Mid-range hospitality £960 - £2,000
Premium hospitality (knockout rounds) £2,000 - £4,000
Top-tier VIP/private suite £4,000 - £12,000+

Hospitality demand is now concentrated on the two semi-finals and the final at MetLife Stadium, where suite-level packages routinely sell out first. Booking through 1BoxOffice lets you compare World Cup 2026 ticket packages and hospitality options across the remaining fixtures and venues in one place.

Football World Cup 2026 Semi-Final Fixtures

Both semi-finals are confirmed. France meet Spain in Dallas on Tuesday and England face Argentina in Atlanta on Wednesday, with both matches kicking off at 8pm UK time. The two beaten semi-finalists play off for third place in Miami before the final in New Jersey. World Cup final tickets are the scarcest listings of the tournament, and semi-final tickets follow close behind now the four qualifiers are known.

Match Date Venue Tickets
France vs Spain Tue 14 Jul AT&T Stadium, Dallas Match 101 tickets
England vs Argentina Wed 15 Jul Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta Match 102 tickets
Third-place play-off Sat 18 Jul Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Match 103 tickets
Final Sun 19 Jul MetLife Stadium, New Jersey Match 104 tickets

The Dallas tie is a rematch of the Euro 2024 semi-final, which Spain won on their way to the title, and pairs the two most convincing sides of this tournament. The Atlanta tie revives one of the World Cup's oldest rivalries, four decades on from Diego Maradona's two famous goals against England in the 1986 quarter-final in Mexico City. Argentina can still become the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to retain the trophy.

Teams Still in Contention

Four nations can still lift the trophy on 19 July: France, Spain, England and holders Argentina.

All four are former world champions, with seven titles between them, making this the first semi-final line-up composed entirely of previous winners since 1990. France are in a third consecutive semi-final, Spain are chasing a second title to add to 2010, England seek a first since 1966 and Argentina defend the crown they won in Qatar. Team pages carry listings for every remaining fixture each side could contest.

Tournament Records Broken So Far

The 2026 edition has already rewritten large parts of the record book. Lionel Messi is the outright all-time leading scorer in World Cup history with 21 goals across six tournaments, and his equaliser against Egypt stretched his record scoring run to nine consecutive World Cup appearances. The Golden Boot race is now tied at eight goals apiece between Messi and Kylian Mbappe, whose strike against Morocco took his own career World Cup tally to 20, second on the all-time list.

Spain became the first team to record six successive World Cup clean sheets, a run that ended only when Belgium scored in the quarter-final. The semi-final line-up is the first in World Cup history to feature the four highest-ranked teams entering the tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo bowed out as the first man to score at six editions of the tournament. The 13 own goals scored so far are the most at any single World Cup, passing the 12 from 2018. And for the first time in the tournament's history, all three host nations reached the knockout stage and all three were eliminated in the last 16.

What Makes the 2026 Football World Cup Different

The 2026 edition is the largest World Cup in history and introduced several firsts that set it apart from every previous tournament.

It is the first World Cup co-hosted by three nations: the United States, Mexico and Canada. Eleven of the 16 host cities are in the US, three are in Mexico and two are in Canada. It is also the first edition to feature 48 teams, up from 32 at the 2022 tournament in Qatar, and the first in which all six continental confederations held a guaranteed qualification berth.

The expanded format produced 12 groups of four teams. The top two from each group advanced to the round of 32, along with the eight strongest third-placed sides. From the round of 32 onwards, the competition follows a straight knockout bracket through to the final on 19 July at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. In total, 104 matches are played across 39 days.

Mexico became the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times, having previously staged the tournament in 1970 and 1986. The United States last hosted in 1994. Canada hosted the men's tournament for the first time.

Football World Cup 2026 Format

Can You Still Buy Football World Cup Tickets for the Closing Rounds?

Yes. Ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup ran through a phased ballot and first-come-first-served system, with demand far exceeding supply at every stage, and allocations for the quarter-finals onwards sold out long before the bracket took shape. A ticket marketplace like 1BoxOffice gives you a route to the remaining matches when tournament allocations are exhausted or your ballot application was unsuccessful.

You can compare available listings for any remaining World Cup 2026 fixture without entering a ballot, review seating categories and delivery methods, then complete your purchase securely online. A 150% money-back guarantee backs every order.

Football World Cup 2026 Tickets for International Fans

International supporters make up a significant portion of the crowds at the closing rounds, with England, France, Spain and Argentina all drawing large travelling and diaspora support in the United States. Many international fans use 1BoxOffice because it allows them to compare and buy tickets from anywhere in the world without needing a local address or a national football association membership.

If you are travelling from overseas, pay attention to the delivery type on each listing (mobile transfer, e-ticket or physical collection), the number of seats together and potential visa requirements for the United States. All remaining matches are on American soil, so a single entry covers the rest of the tournament, but US processing times for some nationalities can still be significant even with the priority appointment scheme running for ticket holders.

The History of the Football World Cup

The Football World Cup was first held in 1930 in Uruguay, with 13 nations competing and the hosts lifting the trophy. Since then, the tournament has grown into the most-watched sporting event on the planet, held every four years and drawing billions of television viewers worldwide.

The competition expanded from its original format over the decades. It moved to 16 teams in 1934, then to 24 in 1982 and 32 in 1998. The 2026 edition represents the next major structural shift, bringing the field to 48 teams and introducing a 12-group format. Through it all, the core principle has remained: every nation earns its place through qualification, and the final tournament determines a single champion over roughly a month of competition.

Eight nations have won the World Cup across its 22 completed editions. Brazil lead the all-time list, followed by Germany, Italy, Argentina, Uruguay, France, England and Spain. Argentina are the defending champions, having won the 2022 tournament in Qatar with a penalty-shootout victory over France, and remain in contention to become the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to retain the trophy.

Football World Cup 2026 Schedule Overview

Debutants Who Made Their Mark

The expanded format opened the door to several first-time qualifiers, and they delivered some of the tournament's best stories. Cape Verde reached the knockout stage on debut and twice pegged back holders Argentina before losing in extra time. DR Congo progressed from their group for the first time in the nation's history. Curacao, the smallest nation ever to qualify with a population of just over 150,000, and Jordan completed the list of debutants, while Uzbekistan reached a first finals through the Asian pathway.
