Pre-tournament view: knockout matchups use FIFA's published 2026 bracket structure (Annex C of the regulations). Compound 3rd-place slots like 3ABCDF resolve once the group stage ends on June 27, eight of the twelve third-place teams advance and FIFA's 495 pre-defined scenarios determine which group's 3rd-placer fills each slot. ESPN populates the real team names within minutes of group-stage close. Leaderboard scoring arrives in a later release.
