2022 FIFA World Cup Bracket
32 teams enter the 2022 FIFA World Cup with dreams of securing soccer immortality, with the teams split into eight groups of four and the top two advancing from each.
Do reigning champions France have a shot at a repeat? Oddsmakers seem to think so as Les Bleus are the third favorites in the World Cup odds at +500 entering the Round of 16.. Meanwhile, the World Cup is favored to return to South America for the first time since 2002 when Brazil defeated Germany. Both Brazil (+225) and Argentina (+450) are the top two favorites to win this year’s edition of the tournament.
The World Cup kicks offs on Sunday, November 20 with Qatar vs Ecuador. Once the final group stage match concludes on December 2, the final 16 teams will be placed into the bracket below and advance to the Knockout Rounds and the Round of 16. Those teams will fight it out in single-elimination style until the final takes place on December 18.
