🏆 Eight remain! All about the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals | OneFootball

Tuesday (7) wrapped up the World Cup 2026 Round of 16.

Only eight teams remain in the tournament, battling for football’s most coveted trophy.

With that in mind, OneFootball brings you everything you need to know about the World Cup quarter-finals right in the palm of your hand.

The tournament, which began on June 11, will have its first day without a single match this Wednesday (8) — leaving nothing to fuel the football banter.

⚽ World Cup quarter-finals

Thursday (9) - 5pm (Brasília time)

🇫🇷 France x Morocco 🇲🇦

France and Morocco meet again, this time in Boston (USA), after facing each other in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup.

The Europeans have impressed since the start of the 2026 World Cup, with Mbappé leading the team as they stay firmly in the hunt for a third title (1998 and 2018).

The Africans, who faced Brazil in their opener, have grown throughout the tournament, even knocking out Canada, and promise to fight until the end for a historic first title.

Friday (10) - 4pm (Brasília time)

🇪🇸 Spain x Belgium 🇧🇪

After putting an end to Cristiano Ronaldo’s World Cup story, Spain are still alive in the race for a second world title (champions in 2010).

However, Belgium’s “golden generation” want to make the most of their strong form in the tournament — which began with an epic comeback win over Senegal and continued with a rout of the USA — to win the first World Cup title in their history. 

Saturday (11) - 6pm (Brasília time)

🇳🇴 Norway x England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

After shocking the world by sending Brazil packing, the “Vikings” — led by Odegaard and Haaland — will try to keep making history in pursuit of a first-ever World Cup title.

But the “English Team” promise the story will be different in Miami. The English want to build on the confidence from eliminating Mexico at the Azteca Stadium and, in doing so, win a second title on the 60th anniversary of their only triumph (1966). 

Saturday (11) - 10pm (Brasília time)

🇦🇷 Argentina x Switzerland 🇨🇭

Kansas City will host another “South America x Europe” clash at this World Cup.

Three-time world champions (1978, 1986 and 2022), Argentina head into the clash with Switzerland looking very strong, with Lionel Messi in “prime mode” leading the way.

Switzerland are back in the quarter-finals after 72 years (last time in 1954), having knocked out Colombia on penalties.

The semi-finals are scheduled for July 14 and 15.

In Dallas, France or Morocco will face Spain or Belgium on Tuesday (14).

And in Atlanta, Norway or England will play Argentina or Switzerland on Wednesday (15).

The third-place match will take place in Miami on July 18.

And the grand final will be held in New Jersey on July 19.
