The top two teams in each group, and the two third-placed teams among three groups advanced to the quarter-finals.[1]
All times are local, WIB (UTC+7).[4]
Teams in a group were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings.[1]
Third-placed teams from the three groups are ranked according to the following criteria, after the results against the fourth-placed teams of groups A and B are excluded in order to rank them with the same numbers of matches.[1]

In order to ensure equality when comparing the third-placed teams of all groups, the results of the matches against the 4th-placed teams in Group A and Group B were ignored due to Group C having only three teams.
In the knockout stage, extra time and penalty shoot-out are used to decide the winner if necessary, except for the third place match where penalty shoot-out (no extra time) is used to decide the winner if necessary.[1]
