At the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the knockout stage was the second and final stage of the tournament, following the group stage. The top two teams from each group (16 total) advance to the knockout stage to compete in a single-elimination style tournament. A third place match is included and played between the two losing teams of the semi-finals.

Note: Match kickoff times are given in local (Korea and Japan) time; this is KST and JST (UTC+9) during summer time.
