The bracket

One bracket to the final.

When the group stage wraps, fill out a single knockout bracket — every winner from the Round of 32 to the Final. Each team you correctly send through scores, and every round is worth more than the last, so the points climb to the final whistle.

The format

Three rules. That’s all.

01

Pick matches. Fill a bracket.

Group stage: call the result of all 72 matches, one by one. Then when the draw is set, fill out your knockout bracket once — it covers every round from the Round of 32 to the Final.

02

Earn as games end.

Group picks score 1 point each. In the bracket, every team you correctly picked to advance earns points — 2 in the Ro32, climbing to 6 for calling the champion.

03

Beat your friends.

The leaderboard updates within minutes of each final whistle. Trash talk in the group chat. Trophy bragging rights until 2030.

Points

Get harder, worth more.

Questions

Things people ask.

When do picks lock?+

Group stage picks lock match by match — each game locks at kickoff. Knockout bracket picks all lock together when the Round of 32 begins, so fill out your full bracket before that first whistle.

Can I change a pick before the deadline?+

Yes — every pick saves instantly and you can change it as many times as you like up until the round’s deadline.

What about draws in the knockouts?+

Knockout matches don’t have a draw option. Pick whoever you think advances, whether it’s in 90, extra time, or penalties.

What happens if a match gets postponed?+

We follow FIFA’s official call. Postponed matches don’t score until they’re rescheduled and finished.

Who runs this?+

A friend’s side project. Free to play. No app to install. Built for the group chat.

The clock is ticking

The opening whistle blows June 11, 2026.

Make your picks before the group stage starts. After that, you’ll have until each new round opens to commit.
