The knockout stage of UEFA Euro 2020 began on 26 June 2021 with the round of 16 and ended on 11 July 2021 with the final at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
Times listed are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2). If the venue is located in a different time zone, the local time is also given.
Format In 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 winners.
UEFA set out the following schedule for the round of 16: Match 1: Winner Group B vs 3rd Group A/D/E/F Match 2: Winner Group A vs Runner-up Group C Match 3: Winner Group F vs 3rd Group A/B/C Match 4: Runner-up Group D vs Runner-up Group E Match 5: Winner Group E vs 3rd Group A/B/C/D Match 6: Winner Group D vs Runner-up Group F Match 7: Winner Group C vs 3rd Group D/E/F Match 8: Runner-up Group A vs Runner-up Group B
As with every tournament since UEFA Euro 1984, there was no third place play-off.
Combinations of matches in the round of 16 The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depended on which four out of 15 possible combinations of best third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:
