Bracket

How It Works

Predict the entire 2026 FIFA World Cup — call the top 3 finishers in each group, pick which 8 third-placed teams advance as wildcards, then build out the knockout bracket from the Round of 32 to the Final. 76 total picks, max 948 points.

Tournament Format

• 1.48 teams in 12 groups of 4
• 2.Group stage — round-robin within each group; top 2 from every group plus the 8 best 3rd-placed teams advance
• 3.Knockout — Round of 32 → Round of 16 → Quarterfinals → Semifinals → Final, plus a 3rd-place match
• 4.104 total matches across the tournament

Filling Out Your Bracket

• ▸For each of the 12 groups, mark the teams you expect to finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
• ▸Wildcards — predict which 8 of the 12 third-placed teams advance to the Round of 32
• ▸Pick winners through the knockout rounds: R32 → R16 → QF → SF → Final. The R32 matchups are built automatically from your group and wildcard picks
• ▸Bonus: pick the winner of the 3rd-place match (semifinal losers)
• ▸Cascading picks — changing a feeder pick clears any downstream picks that no longer make sense
• ▸Group picks lock at tournament kickoff; knockout picks lock when the group stage ends

Scoring

Naming one of a group's top-2 teams but in the wrong slot earns 2 partial points when your other top-2 pick misses. Knockout winners use the team that advances after extra time or penalties — not the 90-minute result.
