BBC Sport launches a new predictor game for the World Cup 2026, inviting fans to forecast every one of the 104 matches. Players choose a winner or a draw for each tie, then lock in their choice—no edits allowed. The platform tracks streaks, rewarding consistency across rounds.

Winning streaks unlock entries into a prize draw that rewards three official World Cup balls signed by former France defender Gael Clichy, presenter Kelly Cates and ex‑England stars Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Joe Hart, Wayne Rooney, Ellen White and Steph Houghton. Draws run during the group stage, the last 32/16, and the knockout finals.

The game encourages daily engagement, as a missed round resets a user's streak to zero. Once predictions are set, fans can fill a simple form to enter the corresponding draw. BBC Sport’s interactive feature adds a layer of competition to the tournament, turning casual viewers into active participants.

Participants can view live results on the BBC Sport website and app, where each match’s outcome updates instantly. Tracking performance across 48 teams and 104 fixtures gives fans a comprehensive view of the tournament’s progress. Successful predictors may find themselves among the few who claim a signed ball, a tangible memento of the world’s biggest football event.
