The eagerly awaited World Cup 2026 Predictor has been launched ahead of the Mexico vs South Africa clash.

FourFourTwo’s World Cup Predictor game, powered by Boyle Sports, gives participants a chance to claim a free £5 bet and compete for a share of a £1,000 prize pool every round.

For each stage of the 2026 World Cup — including the three group matches, Round of 32, Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final — Boyle Sports is offering a Free-to-Play World Cup Predictor available on FourFourTwo. Both new and existing Boyle Sports customers can take part. Below is the schedule and details of how the game works:

Matchday 1: Predict the result (win, lose or draw) for every nation’s first game.
Matchday 2: Predict the result (win, lose or draw) for every nation’s second game.
Matchday 3: Predict the result (win, lose or draw) for every nation’s third game.
Matchday 4: Predict the winners and number of goals in the final eight Round of 32 games (based on 90 minutes plus added time, excluding extra-time or penalties).
Matchday 5: Predict the winners and number of goals in the final four Round of 16 games (based on 90 minutes plus added time, excluding extra-time or penalties).
Matchday 6: Predict the winners and exact scorelines for the three Quarter Final games (based on 90 minutes plus added time, excluding extra-time or penalties).
Matchday 7: Predict the correct scorelines for both Semi Final games after 90 minutes plus added time (excluding extra-time or penalties), with the minute of the first goal in the first Semi Final serving as the tie-breaker.
Matchday 8: Predict the correct scorelines for the Third Place Playoff and World Cup Final after 90 minutes plus added time (excluding extra-time or penalties), with the minute of the first goal in the Final acting as the tie-breaker.

Each time you submit a prediction, you will receive a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours. This means players can earn up to £40/€40 in free bets throughout the tournament, even without predicting a single correct result.

The most accurate predictors each round will share a £1,000/€1,000 jackpot, which refreshes every matchday.
