The knockout stage of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was the second and final stage of the competition, following the group stage. It began on 5 August with the round of 16 and ended on 20 August with the final match, held at the Stadium Australia in Sydney.[1] The top two teams from each group (sixteen in total) advanced to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament.[2]
All times listed are local.
Format
editIn the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each), where each team was allowed to make a sixth substitution. If still tied after extra time, the match was decided by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner.[2]
