The round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup is heating up, and the quarterfinals bracket is starting to fill out.

As the biggest World Cup ever continues, the round of 16 began Saturday, and Morocco and France were the first teams to punch their tickets into the next round.

It only gets harder from here.

So as teams advance and others are eliminated from contention, here's a live look at the World Cup quarterfinals bracket.

Thursday, July 9 Boston Stadium (4 p.m.

ET, FOX, FOX One) The first matchup of the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals is set.

And it's a rematch of the 2022 World Cup semifinals, which Les Bleus won, 2-0.

Morocco defeated Canada, 3-0, on Saturday in the round of 16 matchup at Houston Stadium to advance, and it's now the first African team to reach back-to-back World Cup quarterfinals.

While all three tournament co-hosts made it to the round of 16, by virtue of scheduling, Canada is the first home team to be eliminated from contention.

Behind Golden Boot candidate Kylian Mbappé, France knocked out Paraguay on Saturday at Philadelphia Stadium with a 1-0 win.

Morocco and France will face off in the World Cup quarterfinals game on Thursday, July 9 at Boston Stadium on FOX (stream on FOX One).
