Predict the group stage
Start by ranking every World Cup 2026 group from first to fourth. The simulator uses your top three selections from each group to build the next step.
This keeps the experience fast on mobile while still letting you control the tournament path from the opening phase.
Choose the best third-place teams
After the group stage, select the eight third-place teams you think will advance. Those teams are placed into the Round of 32 using the official slot constraints.
Complete the knockout bracket
Pick every winner through the Round of 32, Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, third-place match, and final.
When your bracket is complete, WC26 Simulator creates a podium card with your champion, runner-up, and third-place team.
