With the second round of group fixtures nearly complete, it’s time to place your predictions for those crucial final group-stage encounters.

Every participant receives a free £5 bet simply for playing, and the top performer in Round 3 will share from the £1,000 prize pot that replenishes every single round.

For every stage of the 2026 World Cup — including the three group games, the Round of 32, Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final — BOYLE Sports is offering this free-to-play prediction game exclusively for FourFourTwo.com readers. Here’s how the schedule works:

Matchday 1: Predict each nation’s first game (win, lose or draw) – NOW CLOSED
Matchday 2: Predict each nation’s second game (win, lose or draw) – NOW CLOSED
Matchday 3: Predict each nation’s third game (win, lose or draw) – CLOSES TOMORROW AT 7 PM!
Matchday 4: Predict the outcomes of the Round of 32 matches, including the winner and number of goals in normal time (not including extra time or penalties).
Matchday 5: Predict the outcomes of the Round of 16 matches, including the winner and number of goals in 90 minutes, plus added time.
Matchday 6: Predict the winners and correct scorelines for the quarter-finals after 90 minutes, not including extra time or penalties.

Matchday 8: Predict the correct scorelines for the 3rd Place Playoff and the World Cup Final after 90 minutes, plus added time, with the first goal minute of the final serving as the tie-breaker.

Each time you make a prediction, you’ll receive a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours — meaning you could collect up to £40/€40 in free bets throughout the tournament, even if none of your predictions are correct!
