The third-place playoff is the World Cup's bittersweet fixture — a chance for the two losing semifinalists to finish the tournament with a victory and a bronze medal. The match has been part of the official schedule since 1934, and despite the emotional letdown of falling short of the Final, winning nations have historically taken genuine pride in third place.
The match is scheduled at Miami Stadium in Miami Gardens, United States. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2026 at 07:00 PM (15:00 ET).
