A championship (groups + knockout) with 64 teams combines two phases: in the group stage the 64 teams are drawn into 4 groups of 16 teams each, where everyone plays everyone. The knockout phase gets 32 teams: the top eight from each group. The title is decided there in direct duels. A total of 511 matches are played across both phases. The group draw is random; the qualifiers are seeded for the knockout round.
Names and results in the diagram are made-up examples.

Choose monthly planThe groups-plus-knockout format is the classic of big title tournaments such as the World and European Championships: the group stage guarantees every team several matches and a fair starting position, while the knockout phase keeps the tension up to the final. With 64 teams it is the best choice when a pure knockout would offer too few matches but a pure league would take too long.
