Predict and watch it compute
Fill in all twelve groups and the full knockout bracket. Every pick recomputes the tournament instantly: standings, qualifiers, the best third-placed teams and the bracket all update as you go. Picks that become impossible after a change are cleared automatically, so your scenario always stays consistent.
Standings are ranked by the official FIFA World Cup 2026 tiebreakers: points first, then the results between the tied teams, then overall goal difference and goals scored, with the FIFA world ranking only as the final tiebreaker. When teams finish completely level, the app suggests an order and lets you set it yourself.
Score mode or Quick mode
Predict exact scorelines in Score mode, or switch to Quick mode and simply order each group from first to fourth when you only care who goes through. Choose the mode per group or for the whole tournament.
Fill the schedule, matchday by matchday
Prefer a calendar to a grid? The schedule view lays the group-stage matches out chronologically, one matchday at a time, so you can predict them in the order they are actually played.
Pick the best third-placed teams
Eight of the twelve third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32. The app ranks them from the group results and lets you set the order yourself when it comes down to the wire.
Build the knockout bracket
Choose a winner for every tie from the Round of 32 through to the final, and watch your champion's path light up as the bracket fills in.
Export your bracket as a poster
Turn a finished prediction into a single landscape PDF poster: all twelve groups along the top and bottom, the full knockout bracket converging to your champion in the middle, and your champion's path picked out in gold. One click, straight from the predictor.

See who can still get there
Click any unresolved slot in the knockout bracket: a group position like 1E, a best third-placed placeholder, or a "winner of match 74" slot. The app shows every team that can still reach it given the results entered so far, and the list shrinks as groups are decided. Because the best third-placed teams feed several slots at once, finishing a single group can narrow the candidates across the whole bracket.
Track it against reality
As the tournament unfolds, real match results appear right next to your predictions, so you can see at a glance where you called it and where the tournament had other plans.
A live countdown marks the wait until the opening match, so you always know how long is left to get your predictions in.
Compete with friends
Turn a prediction into a friendly contest. Join the global leaderboard under a public name and climb as your calls come true: no account, no sign-up. Your picks stay editable right up until each match kicks off, then lock in so the scoring stays fair for everyone.
Two ways to climb
A points board rewards getting results and scorelines right across the whole tournament, while a separate accuracy board ranks you on the share of calls you got right, so newcomers can still compete on sharpness rather than sheer volume.
Private pools for your group
Spin up a private pool for friends, family or the office, share a single invite link, and follow a members-only ranking. One entry counts everywhere, so joining a pool never means re-entering your prediction.
Save, resume, share and sync
Everything is saved locally in your browser with no sign-up, so you can always pick up where you left off, on any of your devices.
Keep every what-if side by side
Build as many scenarios as you like, rename or duplicate them, reset one to start over, and lock a finished scenario so it cannot be changed by accident.
Sync across your devices
Pair a second device by scanning a QR code and your whole library travels with you between phone and laptop, kept in step without an account.
Share a read-only prediction
Publish any scenario under a public name to get a shareable link. Anyone who opens it sees a clean, read-only presentation and can make their own copy to edit, while you keep a private link to rename or withdraw it.
Never lose your work
Download a recovery key as a small backup file. If you ever clear your browser or move to a new device, restore it to bring your whole library back, again with no login.
Know the teams
Tap any flag for a factual team profile: the latest squad grouped by position with fitness notes, the team's tournament history and honours, recent results, current news and the FIFA ranking it arrives on, each fact backed by cited sources.
Explore the tournament
Beyond your own predictions, browse the whole tournament as a factual reference: every team, all twelve groups, the sixteen host venues across the United States, Canada and Mexico, and the complete match schedule.
Built to feel good
The predictor is designed to stay out of your way: real flags, smooth interactions that work with both mouse and touch, and nothing to install.
Set the mood
Switch between light, dark and automatic themes, and pick a compact or rich density. Kickoff times show in both the stadium's timezone and your own, with a +1 day badge when they fall on different dates.
A bracket that fits any screen
Pan and zoom the knockout bracket, snap it back to fit, or open it full-screen, so it stays readable from phone to desktop.
Find your way around
Take a guided "How it works" tour of the real interface, lean on the inline guide that explains the view, input and detail controls, and watch a sticky progress tracker count your filled-in groups and knockout ties. Reach the final and a champion banner reveals your winner.
Only facts, fully sourced
Every fact in the app comes from a real, verifiable source. Nothing is guessed, estimated or invented. Where data is not available yet, we leave it out rather than make it up.
