Get your predictions in before the second round of World Cup group games

Published 9 June 2026 Forty-eight teams, 104 matches - and you can predict them all across the BBC Sport website and app.

A new predictor game is being introduced to cover this year's World Cup, allowing users to pick what they think will be the result from every match.

The new game also features streaks, so make sure to check in each day and make your predictions.

Players will also have the chance to enter a prize draw to win an official World Cup football signed by members of the BBC World Cup team.

Here is all you need to know about BBC Sport's World Cup predictor.

How to play Make your selections, or click 'How to Play' to be guided through how it works.

For every match, you either choose a winner or a draw.

Once your prediction has been submitted you are unable to change it, so be sure to pick carefully.

After that, wait for the results to roll in and see how you have done.

Every consecutive round you play adds one to your streak, but if you miss a round your streak resets to zero.

There are three official World Cup footballs to give away in our prize draws, signed by ex-France defender Gael Clichy, presenter Kelly Cates, and former England internationals Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Joe Hart, Wayne Rooney, Ellen White and Steph Houghton.

Once you play the predictor, you will get a chance to enter the draw by filling in a form.

The first draw will run during the group stage, the second includes the last 32 and last 16, and the third for predicting the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
