World Cup 2026

Game rules

01 Group stage

You predict the result of the 72 group stage matches. Each group’s qualifiers (1st, 2nd and 3rd) are computed automatically from your predictions.

Situation Points
You call the winner or the draw 5 pts
You call the exact score 20 pts

The exact score replaces the winner pick — they don’t stack. A correct 2-1 earns 20 pts (not 25).

Qualification bonus

When the group stage ends, we evaluate which teams qualified from each group.

Situation Points
For every team you picked that qualifies from its group 20 pts

It doesn’t matter if they finished first, second, or as best third. What counts is that the team advanced to the next round.

02–06 Knockout rounds

Applies to: Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Final and Third Place.

You predict the final result of the match (90 or 120 minutes). If you predict a draw, you also pick who wins on penalties.

Situation Points
Exact score plus correct winner 30 pts
Exact score but wrong winner on penalties 10 pts
Correct winner without the exact score 10 pts
Wrong-score draw with correct winner on penalties 10 pts
Wrong-score draw with wrong winner 0 pts
Wrong winner 0 pts
Note: The exact score covers both the 90 regulation minutes and extra time (120 minutes). Penalties only define the winner and never count toward the exact score.
