Fantasy Knockouts Competition launched

Missed out on Messi, Mbappe, Vini Jr. or Vargas? Well, the good news for those looking for a fantasy restart is that there is now a clean slate on offer in the official game.

Starting from the Round of 32 at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, the Fantasy Knockouts Competition will launch, offering users a chance to start afresh and tussle for global glory.

The points scoring and other elements of the game will remain the same but now users can put that low rank behind them and have a second crack at pushing for overall honours.

Users will be able to track their progress with a special leaderboard in place for the Fantasy Knockouts Competition.

The Fantasy Knockout Competition will run from the commencement of the opening fixture of the Round of 32, right the way through until the final in New York New Jersey on 19 July.

Teams are now available to be entered, with unlimited transfers up until the Round of 32 deadline, at kick-off of the opening knockout stage fixture, between South Africa and Canada at 12:00 local time in Los Angeles.
