Gold Cup 2021: Tournament format

The Gold Cup tournament unfolds in a similar fashion to other continental tournaments around the world, with a group stage followed by knockout rounds:

Group stage: The 16 national teams were split into four groups. Each team played three matches as part of a round-robin competition. The top two finishers in each group advanced to the quarterfinals.

Knockout rounds: The eight teams that advanced from the group stage were paired in predetermined quarterfinal matchups based on their finish in the group. A fixed bracket of single-elimination quarterfinal and semifinal matches will leave two teams standing for the final on Sunday, Aug. 1, in Las Vegas.
