World Cup 2026 features 104 matches played across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11 through July 19, 2026.

Predictions Method
Each match prediction uses a Dixon-Coles Poisson model calibrated to World Football Elo ratings. The Elo system encodes each team's historical record, with more recent results weighted more heavily. The Poisson model converts the Elo difference into a probability distribution over possible scorelines — so you can see not just who is favored but by how much and with what confidence. Predictions update after every completed match as the model recalibrates to new results.
