What is this?
WC 2026 Simulator lets you predict the outcome of every match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup — from the group stage all the way to the final. Fill in scores, watch the bracket unfold, and share your predictions with friends.
The new format
The 2026 World Cup introduces a brand-new format. For the first time, 48 teams will compete across 12 groups of 4. The top 2 from each group advance to a 32-team knockout bracket — from the Round of 32 through to the final. That's 104 matches in total, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
How it works
You go through two steps:
- Group Stage — predict all 72 group-stage matches across 12 groups
- Knockout Rounds — fill the bracket from the Round of 32 to the final
For each match you can enter an exact score or just pick a winner and let the app generate a realistic scoreline.
