Table computed from the results loaded into the tournament. Colours mark qualification zones.

How points are scored

For every match you score points for the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win) and extra points for the exact score. A match without a pick scores 0.

The tournament admin sets the point values, and in competitions with a knockout phase can add bonus picks for the champion and top scorer, settled after the final.

A pick locks at kick-off of its match. Until then you can change it as often as you like.

Frequently asked questions

How many matches does the 2026 World Cup have and who goes through from the groups?

104 matches. 48 teams play in 12 groups of 4. The top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance, 32 teams in total in the knockout phase.

How do champion and top scorer predictions work?

Before the first match of the tournament every player names the winner and the top scorer. These picks lock at the opening kick-off. Bonus points for correct picks are added after the final and the ranking counts them next to match points.

What about matches decided in extra time or on penalties?

In the knockout phase a prediction is settled on the score after 90 minutes and extra time, without the penalty shoot-out. The exact settlement rules are shown in the tournament's scoring description.

Can I run a prediction league for the whole company?

Yes. Up to 4 players the tournament is free; bigger groups pick a one-time package for the whole World Cup, no subscription. Everyone joins through one link, nobody has to be added by hand.

The World Cup is over. Does this page still work?

Yes. After the tournament the results and tables stay, so you can check how it went. The next World Cup will appear in the competition catalogue as soon as its schedule is published.
