The World Cup 2026 Predictor Game, hosted by BOYLE Sports and available exclusively for FourFourTwo.com readers, is now open for round two predictions. Simply forecast the results—win, lose, or draw—for every nation’s second group stage fixture. Every entry earns you a £5 free bet, and if your predictions top the leaderboard, you’ll take home a share of the £1,000 prize pot. The prizes refresh every round, so there are multiple chances to win!

Across all stages of the 2026 World Cup—group matches, knockout rounds, and the final—BOYLE Sports will run this free-to-play game. Here’s how the schedule works:

Matchday 1: Predict the result (win, lose, or draw) for every nation's first group stage game.
Matchday 2: Predict the result (win, lose, or draw) for every nation's second group stage game.
Matchday 3: Predict the result (win, lose, or draw) for each nation's third group stage game.
Matchday 4: Forecast the outcomes of the eight Round of 32 matches, including the winner and total number of goals scored in regular time (excluding extra time and penalties).
Matchday 5: Predict the winners and total goals for the four Round of 16 fixtures (regular time only).
Matchday 6: Predict the winners and exact scorelines for the three Quarter-Final matches (regular time only).
Matchday 7: Predict the exact results of both Semi-Final matches (regular time only), with the minute of the first goal in the first Semi-Final serving as a tiebreaker.
Matchday 8: Predict the correct scorelines of the Third Place Playoff and the World Cup Final (regular time only), with the minute of the first goal in the Final used as a tiebreaker.

Each time you submit your predictions, you’ll receive a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours. Over the course of the tournament, you could collect up to £40/€40 in free bets—even if your predictions aren’t perfect. The most accurate predictors each round will share a £1,000/€1,000 jackpot, which resets every matchday.
