This is a list of all penalty shoot-outs that have taken place in the final tournaments of the FIFA World Cup.^[1]

For knockout matches tied after regulation and extra time, the first editions of the World Cup used the rule of replaying the game. Replacement of the rule was first proposed in 1970 to the IFAB,^[2] and penalty shoot-outs were adopted for the World Cup from the 1978 tournament^[3] (from 1986 for final matches), although in practice they did not occur before 1982.

Twice, in 1994 and 2006, the World Cup title has been decided by a penalty shoot-out.^[4]^[5] Of the 30 shoot-outs that have taken place in the competition, only two reached the sudden death stage after still being tied at the end of "best of five kicks".

Penalty shoot-outs

2018 World Cup: Eric Dier scores the winning goal in England's first World Cup penalty shoot-out victory. The team had lost three times before.

By tournament

Before the introduction of penalty shoot-outs in 1978:

Of the 35 knock-out matches from 1930 to 1938, 31 were decided within at most 120 minutes, the remaining 4 matches – one in 1934 and three in 1938 – were decided by replays.
There were no knock-out matches in 1950.
All 42 knock-out matches from 1954 to 1974 were decided within at most 120 minutes, so no replays or drawing of lots were needed.^{[clarification needed]}
