Run a World Cup 2026 Pool With Friends.
Office pool, group chat, family rivalry — here is how to set up a free World Cup 2026 bracket pool and settle who really knows their football.
1. Create a private league
On PredictWC26, head to Leagues and create one. You get a private league with its own invite link and its own leaderboard — separate from the global standings, so it is just you and your people.
2. Share the invite
Drop the invite link in your group chat, work channel, or family thread. Anyone who joins is added to your league's table automatically — no spreadsheets, no chasing people for their picks on paper.
3. Everyone fills a bracket before June 11
Make sure everyone locks in their picks before the tournament opens on June 11, 2026. Set a friendly deadline a day early so nobody misses kickoff and complains about it later. New to brackets? Point them to How to Fill Out Your World Cup 2026 Bracket.
4. How scoring works
You earn points for correct match calls, with bonus points for nailing the exact score. Points roll up as matches are settled, and your private league leaderboard updates so you can see who is on top all tournament long.
5. Keep it fun
The leaderboard does the trash-talking for you. Share your prediction cards after a big call, rib whoever backed the team that just got knocked out, and keep an eye on the standings right through to the final on July 19.
