FIFA World Cup 2022 Schedule

Tournament Format

Before we look at the FIFA World Cup 2022 schedule itself, understanding the format of the tournament is essential. The World Cup features 32 teams at the beginning, each divided into eight groups of four countries. From the group stages, the top two nations of each group progress to the knockout round, making a total of 16 teams.

The knockout rounds, such as the Round of 16, Quarter Finals, and Semi-Finals, all feature single-match outcomes. During these stages, there must be a victor at the end of the match. At the end of a knockout game, if the teams are inseparable by the end of 90 minutes, extra time and penalty kicks will be the order of the day. Moreover, the two losing nations of each Semi-Final compete in a match to determine the third-place winner. Now, let’s take a look at the dates of the stages:

  • Group Stage: November 20 – December 2
  • Round Of 16: December 3 – December 6
  • Quarter Finals: December 9 – December 10
  • Semi-Finals: December 13 – December 14
  • Third Place Playoffs: December 17
  • Final: December 18
