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 feature a mix of well-known teams, including the U.S. men’s national team, 2026 World Cup hosts, along with Mexico and Canada. All of them topped their respective groups alongside Concacaf Nations League runners-up Panama. Notable mentions are three-time winners Costa Rica and guest team Saudi Arabia, making the cut as well. Surprising entries include Honduras, returning to this stage for the first time since 2021, and Guatemala, making its second consecutive knockout appearance after a 12-year absence.
