The games will run from Sunday, June 28 to Friday, July 3 — three games per day, with a solo match on June 28 to open proceedings.

This is the moment jersey demand peaks. Once a team is in the knockout rounds, fans stop waiting. They want their shirt in hand before the next match. Here are the 10 jerseys that will be everywhere this week.

The 10 Jerseys to Watch

1. 🇦🇷 Argentina

The defending champions. Messi's record-breaking farewell. 18 World Cup goals and counting. Argentina are guaranteed top spot in Group J — Lionel Messi scored twice against Austria to become the World Cup's all-time leading scorer, after bagging his maiden tournament hat-trick in their 3-0 opening win over Algeria.

Argentina face Cape Verde in the Round of 32. On paper the easiest path in the bracket. In reality, the weight of history rests on every match. The blue and white stripes are the most in-demand jersey on the planet right now.

2. 🇫🇷 France

France secured their place in the Round of 32 with a 3-0 win over Iraq, as Kylian Mbappé scored a brace. The 2018 world champions beat Senegal 3-1 to kick off their tournament, with Mbappé scoring twice in that game as well.

France face Sweden on June 30 at MetLife Stadium. With Mbappé at four goals for the tournament and Les Bleus looking the most complete team in the competition, the deep navy jersey is everywhere.

3. 🇧🇷 Brazil

Five-time world champions. The most globally recognized football shirt in history. Brazil face Japan on June 29 in Houston — a match that will fill NRG Stadium with canary yellow and draw viewers from every corner of the world.

Brazil have been inconsistent in the group stage — a draw with Morocco was not what the Seleção's fans wanted to see — but the yellow jersey sells regardless. It always does.

4. 🇺🇸 USA

The United States punched their ticket to the knockouts with a 2-0 win over Australia that sent them to top of Group D, after thumping Paraguay 4-1 to kick off their campaign. A shock 3-2 defeat to Türkiye in the final group game added drama, but the USA are through.

USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1 is the match that American fans have circled. Playing at home, in front of a sold-out crowd, with a nation watching — demand for the USA jersey this week is at historic highs.

5. 🇩🇪 Germany

Germany became the third team to enter the last 32 with a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast. The Germans — who failed to get out of the group stage at Russia 2018 and in Qatar — started their tournament with a 7-1 thrashing of Curaçao.

Germany face Paraguay on June 29 in Foxborough. The white home jersey — one of the cleanest kits at the tournament — has been one of the week's top sellers. A Germany that is actually good again is a Germany jersey that sells.

6. 🇳🇴 Norway

Norway beat Senegal 3-2 in their second game, sealing their place in the knockouts. The Norwegians — back at the World Cup after 28 years — started their campaign with a 4-1 thrashing of Iraq.

Norway face Ivory Coast on June 30 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Haaland vs the world. The white Norwegian jersey is the tournament's surprise bestseller — a kit nobody was talking about three weeks ago that is now one of the hottest shirts in football.

7. 🇲🇦 Morocco

The 2022 semi-finalists are back and looking even better. Morocco held Brazil to a draw, beat Haiti 4-2, and enter the Round of 32 as one of the tournament's most feared teams. They face the Netherlands on June 30 in Monterrey — a potential upset match that every neutral will be watching.

Morocco's red and green jersey with intricate North African geometric detailing is the most visually striking kit still in the tournament. It's also one of the most talked-about shirts on social media.

8. 🇲🇽 Mexico

Mexico were the first team to qualify for the knockouts, taking top spot in Group A with a 1-0 win over South Korea, having started their campaign with a 2-0 win over South Africa. They completed a perfect group stage with a 3-0 win over Czechia.

Mexico vs Ecuador on July 1 at Estadio Azteca will be played in front of 87,000 fans in Mexico City — one of the most electric atmospheres in football. The green jersey will fill every corner of that stadium.

9. 🇬🇧 England

England face DR Congo on July 1 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Three Lions have been solid if unspectacular — a 4-2 win over Croatia, a 0-0 draw with Ghana, and top of Group L. Thomas Tuchel's team haven't dazzled, but they haven't cracked either.

The white England jersey is a perennial bestseller at every World Cup, powered by one of the world's largest football fanbases and the eternal hope that this might finally be the year.

10. 🇨🇴 Colombia

Colombia topped Group K with a 0-0 draw against Portugal — six points from three games, James Rodríguez pulling strings, Luis Díaz providing the firepower. They face Ghana in the Round of 32, a match they will be expected to win.

Colombia's yellow kit carries the same iconic status in South America that Brazil's does globally. In a tournament where they've finally delivered on their potential, Colombian fans are buying in record numbers.
