How the 2026 World Cup bracket predictor works

This is a free, interactive 2026 World Cup bracket you fill out yourself. Start in the Round of 32, tap a winner in every matchup, and each pick auto-advances to the next round so the bracket builds itself all the way to the Final. Change your mind on an earlier round and everything downstream re-routes instantly. On phones you swipe between the Round of 32, Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and Final; on desktop you see the full knockout bracket at once.

As each World Cup knockout game is played, the real result locks into the bracket and marks that matchup Final, so the tool doubles as a live 2026 World Cup bracket and your own predictor at the same time. Crown your champion, then hit share to send a link to your bracket. Anyone who opens it can see your picks and start their own with one tap.
