About World Cup 2026

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the largest in history: 48 nations, 104 matches, and three host countries — the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The tournament runs from June 11 through July 19, 2026, with 16 venues across North America including MetLife Stadium, SoFi Stadium, AT&T Stadium, Estadio Azteca, and BC Place.

How the Predictions Work

Every match prediction starts from World Football Elo ratings, which encode each team's historical strength and recent form. A Dixon-Coles Poisson model converts the Elo gap into expected goal distributions for each team. The model recalibrates after every completed match, so predictions sharpen as the tournament progresses. Bracket simulation uses Monte Carlo methods with a seeded PRNG for reproducible results.
