That is why this page sits well next to the full schedule page. The schedule shows every Round of 16 slot. This page keeps the focus on the teams already through and the ties that are already confirmed.
Canada and Morocco are already through to Match 90. Canada beat South Africa 1-0 in Inglewood, while Morocco eliminated the Netherlands on penalties after a 1-1 draw. That means Houston already has one complete Round of 16 pairing.
Paraguay and France are already through to Match 89. Paraguay knocked out Germany on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and France beat Sweden 3-0. Philadelphia is therefore one of the first Round of 16 dates that already has both teams confirmed.
Brazil and Norway are already through to Match 91. Brazil beat Japan 2-1, and Norway beat Côte d'Ivoire 2-1. East Rutherford now has one of the clearest confirmed Round of 16 pairings.
Mexico and England are already through to Match 92. Mexico beat Ecuador 2-0, and England beat DR Congo 2-1. That pairing stands out because Match 92 will be played at Estadio Azteca.
Belgium and the United States are already through to Match 94. Belgium needed extra time to beat Senegal 3-2, while the United States beat Bosnia & Herzegovina 2-0. Seattle now has a confirmed Round of 16 matchup with plenty of attention around it.

This list only covers teams whose Round of 32 match is already complete.
Match 93 is the next slot most likely to settle because both source games are on July 2. Portugal vs Croatia decides one side, and Spain vs Austria decides the other.
Match 95 still needs July 3 to play out. Argentina vs Cabo Verde decides one side of the Atlanta path, while Australia vs Egypt decides the other.
Match 96 is also still open. Switzerland vs Algeria sets one side of the Vancouver slot, and Colombia vs Ghana sets the other.
Which Round of 16 slots are still waiting?
The three open Round of 16 lanes after the July 1 results
| Match | What is waiting | Which Round of 32 games decide it |
|---|---|---|
| Match 93 | Portugal or Croatia vs Spain or Austria | Portugal vs Croatia and Spain vs Austria |
| Match 95 | Argentina or Cabo Verde vs Australia or Egypt | Argentina vs Cabo Verde and Australia vs Egypt |
| Match 96 | Switzerland or Algeria vs Colombia or Ghana | Switzerland vs Algeria and Colombia vs Ghana |
Match 93 is the next slot likely to become fully confirmed because both source matches are on July 2.
A page like this is useful because the bracket reads differently once teams move from possible to confirmed. A schedule slot such as Winner Match 79 vs Winner Match 80 tells you one thing. Mexico vs England tells you much more.
The same logic applies to team pages and match pages. Once a team is already through, readers stop asking only whether it survived. They start asking where it goes next, which city it travels to, and which side of the draw is already forming around it.
That is especially true now because five Round of 16 fixtures are already fixed. Canada vs Morocco, Paraguay vs France, Brazil vs Norway, Mexico vs England and United States vs Belgium are all confirmed, while the final three slots are still being shaped by the current knockout window.

If you are following tonight and tomorrow more closely than the full bracket, Games Today is the practical page to keep open because it shows the remaining Round of 32 matches that will fill Match 93, Match 95 and Match 96.
Ten teams are already through to the World Cup 2026 Round of 16: Canada, Morocco, Paraguay, France, Brazil, Norway, Mexico, England, Belgium and the United States.
