World Soccer Planner: Cup 2026

The 2026 World Cup is unlike anything before it. 48 nations. 12 groups. Tiebreakers and a third-place rule nobody fully understands. World Soccer Planner decodes all of it — so you know who's likely playing in every match before you buy a ticket, book a flight, or set your alarm.

THE ONE QUESTION NOBODY ELSE ANSWERS

Which teams are actually likely to be in your match?
Not just who might win the tournament — but who's likely playing in Match 76 in Houston on June 29. World Soccer Planner shows the probability of every team appearing in every match slot across all 104 games. So if you have tickets, you know what you're getting into. And if you're planning a trip, you know when to book.

HOW IT WORKS

Full 2026 World Cup schedule across all 104 matches and 16 venues. Always know who's likely playing — and why. Standings and bracket update automatically as results come in.

Every match shows a simple probability bar. Not vibes. Actual math — built on ELO ratings and 10,000 simulations. Updated after every result.

Tap any team. See their full path through the tournament, round by round, venue by venue. If Spain has a 78% chance of reaching Dallas — that's when you book Dallas.

Mark matches as Going or Interested. Your personal schedule in one view. Hotel and ticket links built into every match — StubHub, Hotels.com, Viator, and more.

One tap shares your predicted bracket with friends. Built for the group chat.

YOUR RANKINGS

Think Morocco is underrated? Think Germany is past it? Move them. The entire app recalculates around your opinion — every probability bar, every team path, every tournament outlook. Instantly. This is the only World Cup app that lets your predictions drive the numbers.

THE THIRD-PLACE GRID

The 2026 format sends 8 of 12 third-place teams to the Round of 32 via a tiebreaker chain most fans have never seen. We track it in real time and explain every step — so you don't have to read the rulebook.

THE TIEBREAKER EXPLAINER
