Following the completion of the round-robin stage, the top four teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals. The two semi-final winners meet for the gold medal match, while the semi-final losers play in the bronze medal match.

Qualification

{{main article|Field hockey at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's qualification}}

Each of the continental champions from five confederations receive an automatic berth. The host nation didn't qualify as they didn't place higher than fortieth in the FIH World Rankings by the end of 2014 nor finished no worse than seventh at the 2015 Pan American Games (they didn't even qualify for that tournament). This restriction was decided between the International Hockey Federation (FIH) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) due to the standard of field hockey in Brazil. In addition to the seven highest placed teams at the Semifinals of the 2014–15 FIH Hockey World League not already qualified, the following twelve teams, shown with final pre-tournament rankings, will compete in this tournament.{{cite news|title=Rio 2016 – FIH Hockey Qualification System|url=http://www.fih.ch/files/Sport/General%20documents/2014-09%20-%20Rio%202016%20-%20Qualification%20System%20-%20FINAL%20-%20Hockey%20-%20EN%20.pdf|publisher=FIH|access-date=30 September 2014}}
