The Fifa World Cup 2022 schedule will be structured similarly to previous editions, with a 32-team group stage reducing the field to 16 teams — only the top two teams from each of the eight groups advance.
These 16 group-stage teams will move on to the single-game knockout stages — Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and final — where the winner advances and the loser is eliminated. Every knockout-round match must have a winner on the day, and extra time and penalty kicks will be used if necessary to determine the victor.
| Match | Dates |
|---|---|
| Group Stage | Nov. 20-Dec. 2 |
| Round of 16 | Dec. 3-6 |
| Quaterfinals | Dec. 9-10 |
| Semifinals | Dec. 13-14 |
| Third-Place Match | Dec. 17 |
| Final | Dec. 18 |
During the group stage, there will be up to four matches per day, staggered throughout the day. Only the matches played on the final day of the group-stage phase will overlap, and this is strictly for competitive integrity.
Every time zone on the planet will be able to watch matches at reasonable intervals throughout the day. Here’s a breakdown of how the local kickoff times, Fifa World Cup 2022 schedule , in Qatar translate to other parts of the world.
