How to play

Predict every 2026 World Cup round before kickoff to earn points. Choose your World Cup Winner for a huge multiplier. On July 19, the only thing that matters is who sits at the top of your table.

Your picks

Group stage

Drag teams into your predicted finish order for each of the 12 groups. Position 1 = your predicted group winner.

Third-place qualifiers

Pick 8 of the 12 third-place teams to advance to the Round of 32.

Knockout rounds

Before each round starts, pick the winner of every match. Picks lock at kickoff of the first game in that round.

Champion pick

Pick one team to win the whole tournament. This can be changed up until the Quarter-finals kick off — then it locks for good.

The 2× Champion multiplier

If your champion pick wins the tournament, your entire score is doubled. Even if you got the finalists wrong, as long as your pick lifts the trophy, you get the 2×.

Locking rules

Picks for each round lock when the first match of that round kicks off. You can edit your picks right up to that moment — after that, they're final. The champion pick has a later deadline: it locks when the Quarter-finals begin.
