A World Cup pool (also called a prediction pool or office pool) is a fun way to follow the tournament with friends, coworkers, family, or classmates. Each participant predicts match results before the games begin, while one organizer keeps track of the points throughout the tournament.
Step-by-step: How to organize a World Cup pool
- Download and print the World Cup schedule available on this page for each participant. Everyone uses it to predict match results and choose their World Cup champion before the tournament starts.
- Collect all predictions before kickoff. Once the tournament begins, picks should stay locked to avoid confusion or disputes.
- Download and print the World Cup 2026 pool score sheet. This sheet is used by the organizer to keep track of points and rankings during both the group stage and knockout rounds.
- Update scores throughout the tournament. After each matchday, compare predictions with official results and add points to the score sheet.
-
Apply the scoring system consistently:
- Correct winner or draw: 1 point
- Exact score prediction: +2 bonus points (3 total)
- No prediction submitted before kickoff: 0 points
- Correct World Cup champion pick: +5 bonus points
- Declare the pool winner. At the end of the tournament, total all points, apply tie-breakers if necessary, and award the agreed prize—or just enjoy the bragging rights until the next World Cup.

About the FIFA World Cup 2026: A Historic Tournament
The 2026 World Cup will be unlike any tournament in soccer history. Here's what you need to know:
Expanded format: 48 teams instead of 32
For the first time ever, the World Cup will feature 48 national teams instead of 32. That means more matches, more excitement, and more nations in the mix. The 48 teams will be split into 12 groups of 4.
Three host countries
The 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It's the first time in history that three nations share hosting duties. Matches will be spread across major cities in all three countries, creating a unique, cross-border experience.
Tournament dates
The 2026 World Cup kicks off on Thursday, June 11, 2026 (Mexico vs. South Africa – Group A, Estadio Azteca, Mexico City) and the Final takes place on Sunday, July 19, 2026 (MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey).
More teams = more opportunities
With 48 teams instead of 32, many nations that have historically struggled to qualify will have a real shot at participating. This expands competitiveness and makes the tournament truly global.
The 12 Groups of World Cup 2026
The new format—12 groups of 4 teams—is a major shift from the traditional 8 groups. It changes the entire tournament dynamic.
In each group:
- Each team plays 3 matches (one against each group opponent)
- Standings: 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss
- Advancing: 32 teams move to the knockout stage: the top 2 from each group (24 teams) plus the 8 best third-place finishers.
- In total, there will be 72 group-stage matches and 104 matches across the entire tournament, making this the largest FIFA World Cup ever.
The match schedule you download on this page includes all 12 groups with space to fill in results and track each team's run in real time.
Host Cities: USA, Mexico, and Canada
For the first time in FIFA World Cup history, three countries share hosting duties. Matches will be played across major cities in North America:
United States
Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle.
Mexico
Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey.
Canada
Toronto and Vancouver.
Historic impact: The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the first tournament hosted by three nations, spanning multiple cities across North America and giving more fans the chance to experience World Cup soccer in person.
