FIFA World Cup 2022: Complete Match Dates, Times, Team Fixtures For Qatar Tournament (See Full Schedule Table)

The 2022 FIFA World Cup feels that much closer with the draw now officially out of the way. The group stage matchups are set and we can begin to project who might be in best position to advance from the knockouts.

The tournament kicks off on Monday, Nov. 21 and will be wrapped up in less than a month with the final tabbed for Sunday, Dec. 18. Brazil enter as the No. 1 team in the world and have a manageable group, while defending champions France should finish top in their group with a chance to build a head of steam in the tournament.

Which teams could surprise? African champions Senegal are one of the stronger teams in Group A, which also features hosts Qatar. In their first participation in 37 years, Canada landed in Group F, where it will like its chances to battle Morocco and Croatia for second place behind Belgium.

The 2022 World Cup tournament will follow along the lines of past editions with a 32-team group stage which whittles the field down to 16 teams — only the top two teams from each group will advance.

Those 16 survivors will then begin a single-game knockout competition. The winner moves on, the loser goes home. There must be a winner on the day and extra time and penalty kicks will be used, if necessary.

Group stage:Nov. 21-Dec. 2
Round of 16: Dec. 3-6
Quarterfinals: Dec. 9-10
Semifinals: Dec. 13-14
