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. Both extra-time winners went on to reach the closing weekend.
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.
| Date | Fixture | Result | Venue |
| Sat 4 Jul | Paraguay vs France | 0-1 | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia |
| Sat 4 Jul | Canada vs Morocco | 0-3 | NRG Stadium, Houston |
| Sun 5 Jul | Brazil vs Norway | 1-2 | MetLife Stadium, New Jersey |

| Mon 6 Jul | Portugal vs Spain | 0-1 | AT&T Stadium, Dallas |
| 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.
Two matches remain, and the market reflects it. Spain against Argentina in Sunday's final is the most expensive ticket of the tournament by a wide margin, with the confirmation of the finalists on 15 July repricing listings within hours. The France vs England third-place play-off in Miami offers the last realistic entry point for fans who want a closing-weekend match without final-level spend.
| Match Round | Indicative Resale Range (GBP) |
| Third-place play-off (France vs England) | £350 - £1,600 |
| Final (Spain vs Argentina, MetLife Stadium) | £9,500 - £40,000+ |
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. Final supply only shrinks from here and the play-off market moves as travelling fans finalise closing-weekend plans, so buyers with a preferred match should compare listings now rather than waiting for matchday.
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 final at MetLife Stadium, where suite-level packages routinely sell out first, with the Miami play-off absorbing the remainder. Booking through 1BoxOffice lets you compare World Cup 2026 ticket packages and hospitality options across the remaining fixtures and venues in one place.
Both semi-finals are complete, and both went against the pre-match favourite on the night. Spain beat France 2-0 in Dallas and holders Argentina came from behind to beat England 2-1 in Atlanta, setting up the first World Cup final ever contested by the reigning champions of Europe and South America.
| Date | Fixture | Result | Venue |
| Tue 14 Jul | France vs Spain | 0-2 | AT&T Stadium, Dallas |
| Wed 15 Jul | England vs Argentina | 1-2 | Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta |
In Dallas, Spain suffocated a France side that had won all six of its previous matches. Mikel Oyarzabal converted a 22nd-minute penalty after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal, Pedro Porro exchanged passes with Dani Olmo to double the lead in the 58th and Unai Simón kept a comfortable clean sheet. Spain reached a second-ever World Cup final, their first since winning the trophy in 2010, while Kylian Mbappe stayed on eight goals in the Golden Boot race.
Atlanta produced the drama. Anthony Gordon put England ahead in the 55th minute and Thomas Tuchel's side held the lead until the 85th, when Enzo Fernandez bent in an equaliser from distance. Lautaro Martinez then headed a Lionel Messi cross past Jordan Pickford in stoppage time to complete the turnaround, sending Argentina to a fourth final in the last four tournaments and consigning England to the bronze final in Miami.
Two matches remain. The beaten semi-finalists meet in Miami on Saturday before the final in New Jersey on Sunday, both with listings live now.
| Match | Date | Venue | Tickets |
| France vs England (third place) | Sat 18 Jul, 22:00 UK | Hard Rock Stadium, Miami | Match 103 tickets |
| Spain vs Argentina (final) | Sun 19 Jul, 20:00 UK | MetLife Stadium, New Jersey | Match 104 tickets |
The Miami tie carries a live Golden Boot subplot: Mbappe and Messi sit level on eight goals, and with the play-off staged a day before the final, Mbappe can set the target first. It is also Didier Deschamps's last match as France manager. The final pairs Messi, in what may be his last international appearance, against 19-year-old Yamal for the first time.
Two nations can lift the trophy on 19 July: Spain and holders Argentina. France and England meet in Saturday's third-place play-off in Miami.
The final splits neatly: Spain chase a second title to add to 2010 and would become the first side to hold the Nations League, European Championship and World Cup at once, while Argentina defend the crown won in Qatar and can become the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to retain it. In Miami, England chase a first podium finish since winning the tournament in 1966, having lost both previous bronze finals, and France target a third after 1958 and 1986. Team pages carry listings for both remaining fixtures.
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.
The semi-finals added more. Argentina reached a sixth consecutive World Cup semi-final and a fourth final in the last four editions, Messi's two assists against England stretched his all-time tournament assist record to 12, and Sunday brings the first final in World Cup history between the reigning champions of Europe and South America. Spain arrive having conceded once in seven matches.
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.
| Stage | Teams | Format | Outcome |
| Group stage | 48 (12 groups of 4) | Round-robin within each group | Top 2 per group advanced; 8 strongest third-placed sides also progressed |
| Round of 32 | 32 | Single knockout match | Winners advanced to the round of 16 |
| Round of 16 | 16 | Single knockout match | Winners advance to the quarter-finals |
| Quarter-finals | 8 | Single knockout match | Winners advance to the semi-finals |
| Semi-finals | 4 | Single knockout match | Winners advance to the final; losers contest the third-place play-off |
| Final | 2 | Single match at MetLife Stadium | Winner crowned 2026 World Cup champions |
Knockout matches level after 90 minutes go to two 15-minute periods of extra time, followed by a penalty shootout if still tied. There are no replays at any stage.
The group stage ran from 11 to 27 June and produced its share of surprises, with Germany and the Netherlands both progressing only to fall at the first knockout hurdle. The 12 groups lined up as follows.
| Group | Teams |
| A | Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, Czech Republic |
| B | Canada, Switzerland, Qatar, Bosnia and Herzegovina |
| C | Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland |
| D | United States, Paraguay, Australia, Türkiye |
| E | Germany, Curacao, Ivory Coast, Ecuador |
| F | Netherlands, Japan, Sweden, Tunisia |
| G | Belgium, Egypt, Iran, New Zealand |
| H | Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay |
| I | France, Senegal, Iraq, Norway |
| J | Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Jordan |
| K | Portugal, Colombia, Uzbekistan, DR Congo |
| L | England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama |

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.
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 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 are now one win over Spain from becoming the first nation since Brazil in 1962 to retain the trophy.
| Nation | Titles | Years Won |
| Brazil | 5 | 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002 |
| Germany | 4 | 1954, 1974, 1990, 2014 |
| Italy | 4 | 1934, 1938, 1982, 2006 |
| Argentina | 3 | 1978, 1986, 2022 |
| Uruguay | 2 | 1930, 1950 |
| France | 2 | 1998, 2018 |
| England | 1 | 1966 |
| Spain | 1 | 2010 |
The tournament opened on 11 June 2026 with Mexico against South Africa at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The group stage ran from 11 to 27 June, followed by the round of 32 from 28 June to 3 July and the round of 16 from 4 to 7 July.
The quarter-finals ran from 9 to 11 July in Boston, Los Angeles, Miami and Kansas City, and the semi-finals followed in Dallas and Atlanta on 14 and 15 July, won by Spain and Argentina. Two fixtures remain: France play England in the third-place play-off on 18 July in Miami at 10pm UK time, and Spain meet Argentina in the final on 19 July at MetLife Stadium, kicking off at 8pm UK time.
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.

All remaining matches are in the United States, spread between Dallas, Atlanta, Miami and the New York area. Domestic flights are the most practical way to follow a team through the closing week, and demand for flights and hotels around the semi-finals and final is extremely high, so book as early as possible.
