Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bracket use the real World Cup 2026 draw?
No. The predictor is pre-loaded with a field of leading contender nations so you can play any time. It is a for-fun prediction tool, not a live representation of the official draw or results.
Can I change a pick after I make it?
Yes. Tap a different team in any matchup at any time. Because later rounds depend on your earlier picks, those rounds reset when you change a result so the bracket always stays valid.
How many teams are in the bracket?
The bracket starts with 16 teams in a single-elimination knockout — Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final — just like the business end of a World Cup.
Is my bracket saved anywhere?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser and nothing is stored or sent to a server. Use the share button if you want to keep or send your prediction.
