Schedule for the bracket and knockout round of the 2024 European Championship

The Euro 2024 knockout round is starting to take shape, with Group A becoming the first to end play on a dramatic Sunday.

Host Germany got an injury-time goal from substitute Niclas Füllkrug to earn a 1–1 draw against Switzerland, taking first place in the group. Switzerland finished second and also advanced. Hungaryplaying at the same time, also conceded a late goal – in the 10th minute of stoppage time – which secured a 1-0 win over Scotland and third place in the group.

The top two teams in each group, along with the top four third-place finishes, will advance to the 16-team knockout round, meaning Hungary will have to wait to see if the three points are enough. Ties are broken first by head-to-head results – or results against all teams at the level, in the case of a multi-team tie – followed by goal difference and total goals scored. Moreover, the calculations become more complicated.

Group B will be completed on Monday. Groups C and D finish play on Tuesday, while Groups E and F conclude the group stage on Wednesday. The knockout stage of the tournament starts on Saturday with a round of 16 matches.

In addition to Germany and SwitzerlandSpain And Portugal have already secured a place in the knockout round.

All days and times Eastern.

Monday Euro 2024 matches

  • Albania vs. Spain, 3 p.m
  • Croatia vs. Italy, 3 p.m

Group B, considered one of the tournament’s most challenging, ends on Monday, with neither Croatia nor Italy in a comfortable position. Italy, the defending champions, previously lost to Spain and need at least a draw against Croatia to ensure passage to the knockout round. Aging Croatia is still led by Real Madrid star Luka Modric, but enters the group last on Monday.

Spain have impressed so far and have yet to concede a goal. La Roja has already taken first place in the group. Albania scored first in each of their first two matches but will likely need an unlikely victory over Spain to progress.

Groups C and D both end on Tuesday as the tournament heads towards the knockout stages. Group D will finish first, with France meeting Poland at noon Eastern and the Netherlands facing Austria at the same time. Poland are yet to register a point and were the first team to be eliminated from the tournament, while the Netherlands and Austria are both in strong positions to progress. France will finish in the top two with at least a draw against Poland, or with a defeat and a win or draw against the Netherlands.

In Group C, Denmark faces Serbia and England faces Slovenia, both at 3:00 PM Eastern. England are guaranteed a place in the top two with a draw or win against Slovenia, or with a draw or loss for Denmark against Serbia. Denmark is assured of passage if they win, but has plenty of other options. Slovenia also advances with a win, while Serbia – who enter in last place – needs at least a win, or a draw and a loss to Slovenia to have a chance.
