FIFA World Cup 2026 Score Predictor

Last updated: May 2026 — FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off June 11, 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Score Predictor lets you predict the exact score of every group-stage match. Save your predictions in your browser, share them with friends, run office prediction pools, or settle bragging-rights bets. Free, instant, no signup. All 72 group-stage matches across 12 groups (A-L) are pre-loaded with real fixture data.

How to Predict World Cup 2026 Match Scores

The matches are listed in chronological order from June 11 (opening Mexico vs South Africa) to June 27 (final Group L matches). For each match, enter your predicted home and away scores in the boxes between the team names. Predictions save automatically as you type. Filter by group (A-L) or by matchday (1, 2, or 3) to focus on specific matches.

Office Prediction Pool Scoring

A common scoring system for office prediction pools: 3 points for predicting the exact score correctly, 1 point for getting the result right (win/draw/loss for the home team), 0 points for a wrong result. Bonus rules: +1 point if you predict both teams to score and that happens, +2 for predicting a clean sheet that happens. Lock predictions before kickoff of the first match on June 11. Compare scores after each matchday.

Tips for Better Predictions

Most group-stage matches finish 1-1, 2-0, 2-1, or 1-0 historically (these account for about 50% of all World Cup group-stage results). High-scoring matches (3+ goals per team) are rare in groups but more common in knockouts. Watch the FIFA April 2026 rankings — France (#1), Spain (#2), Argentina (#3), England (#4) typically win their group games. But upsets are part of the World Cup — Saudi Arabia beat eventual champion Argentina in 2022.

Best Use Cases

Run a private office pool: each person predicts every match, score the pool weekly, post the leaderboard on Slack. Settle bets with friends: pick 3 marquee matches and bet snacks or coffee on getting the closest score. Personal challenge: predict every group match before kickoff and grade yourself after Matchday 3. Share with kids: families enjoy comparing predictions and rooting for "their" results.
