With the 2026 World Cup expanding to 48 teams, I noticed that predicting the tournament has become incredibly complex. You now have to deal with 104 matches, 12 groups, and the extremely tricky "best third-placed teams" qualification rules. Manual math or simple spreadsheets just don't cut it anymore.
So, I built the 2026 FIFA World Cup Simulator to solve this.
✨ What it does:It’s a zero-friction web utility that fully automates the new tournament logic.
