    Earn points as results come in

    Get 3 points for nailing the exact scoreline. Miss the score but still call the winner (or a draw)? That's worth 1 point. The closer you are, the more points you rack up across all 104 games.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is CupRoute free to play?

    Yes, completely free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no credit card required.

    Do I need an account to play?

    Yes — sign up with just your email address. We send a magic link so there's no password to remember.

    Can I change my predictions after submitting them?

    Yes, you can update any prediction up until the match kicks off. Once a game starts, that prediction is locked.

    How do knockout round predictions work?

    For matches that could go to extra time (Round of 32 onwards), you also predict the extra-time and penalty shootout scores if the game is level after 90 minutes.

    What is a prediction set?

    A prediction set is your full entry — all 104 match scores under one name. You can create multiple sets (e.g. one optimistic, one cautious) and enter them all into leagues.

    How do private leagues work?

    Create a league and share the 6-character invite code with anyone you want to compete against. Everyone in the league sees the same leaderboard, updated live as results come in.

    When does the World Cup 2026 start?

    FIFA World Cup 2026 kicks off on 11 June 2026, hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. The Final is on 19 July 2026 at MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey.
