Gold Cup bracket, knockout round schedule: USMNT face Costa Rica in quarterfinals, Mexico vs. Saudi Arabia

The bracket is officially set for the Concacaf Gold Cup knockout rounds, setting the stage for the final eight teams to map their route to the July 6 final at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

This year’s quarterfinalists are headlined by a familiar mix of teams, including 2026 World Cup hosts the U.S. men’s national team, Mexico and Canada. Each of them topped their groups and are also joined by Concacaf Nations League runners-up Panama in that category, while three-time winners Costa Rica and guest team Saudi Arabia also made the cut. Two surprise contenders round out the last eight – Honduras, who reach this stage for the first time since 2021 and Guatemala, who are in the knockouts for the second edition in a row after a 12-year absence.
