The 2026 World Cup is the biggest in history: 48 nations split into 12 groups will compete across the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. With PickTheCup you can build your complete bracket prediction before the first whistle.
Pick the top two finishers from each of the 12 groups (A through L). The eight best third-place teams also advance to the Round of 32 — the same format used at UEFA tournaments. The tool automatically determines which third-place teams qualify based on your picks for points, goal difference and goals scored.
From the Round of 32 all the way to the Final, you simulate every match by choosing the winner. The bracket updates live as you complete your picks.
Each correct pick earns progressive points: Round of 32 (1 pt), Round of 16 (2 pts), Quarterfinals (4 pts), Semifinals (8 pts) and Champion (16 pts). The global ranking compares your prediction against real results as the tournament progresses.
When you save your bracket you get a unique URL to share with friends. Every prediction includes an AI-generated analysis rating your tactical picks. Can you top the global ranking?
