8 teams reach the FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-finals; fixtures confirmed

The quarter-final lineup for the FIFA World Cup 2026 in North America has been finalised. The final eight teams were confirmed after Wednesday morning’s Round of 16 match between Switzerland and Colombia. The quarter-final matchups have also been determined.

Europe dominates the last eight with six teams, while South America and Africa each have one representative. Five-time world champions Brazil, along with all three co-hosts—the United States, Mexico, and Canada—were eliminated in the Round of 16. Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal also bowed out at the same stage.
