wc26.org is an independent, non-official tournament simulator created by football fans for the global community. As we approach the historic 2026 World Cup in North America, we wanted to build a high-performance tool that allows users to explore all the possibilities of the new 48-team format.
Our simulator uses advanced ELO-based algorithms combined with custom team ratings (attack/defense) to generate realistic results. However, it is designed primarily for fun and analytical exploration, not as a prediction tool for betting or official forecasting.
This site is 100% free to use and is maintained through the passion of the community. We use Cloudflare's state-of-the-art D1 serverless database technology to aggregate simulated champions and share "who the world thinks will win" in real-time.
The 2026 World Cup represents a massive milestone for the sport, and we hope this simulator helps you enjoy the buildup to the tournament even more.
