Euro 2020 knockout-round bracket, schedule and preview

With the Euro 2020 group stage in the books, it’s time for the knockout stage, where standings points and goal differential are jettisoned in favor of pure wins and losses.

A reminder on the knockout-round rules: If the score is tied after 90 minutes, the teams will play two 15-minute extra-time periods, and if the score remains tied after that, the teams will conduct a penalty-kick shootout. Teams also will be allowed to make a sixth substitution, but only during extra time. (In the group stage, teams were allowed five substitutions.)

How they got here: Wales, a surprise Euro semifinalist five years ago, once again advanced past the group stage by finishing second in Group A.
