BOYLE Sports is inviting football fans to join its exciting World Cup 2026 Match Predictor challenge, where participants can take part for free, secure a £5 free bet just for playing, and compete for a share of a £1,000 prize pool every round.

Did anyone foresee Spain drawing with Cape Verde? It’s a tough call to make! The Free To Play World Cup Predictor game, powered by BOYLE Sports, is ready for your Round Two predictions. Simply forecast the outcomes — win, loss, or draw — for every nation’s second group-stage match. Every participant receives a free £5 bet upon entry, and the top scorer on the Round Two leaderboard will take home a share of the £1,000 prize pot, which refreshes each round.

For every stage of the 2026 World Cup — from the group matches to the final — BOYLE Sports is running this free competition, exclusively for FourFourTwo.com readers. Here’s how the schedule works:

Matchday 1: Predict the result (win, lose, or draw) of each team’s first game.
Matchday 2: Forecast the second round of fixtures (win, lose, or draw).
Matchday 3: Predict the outcomes of the third group-stage matches (win, lose, or draw).
Matchday 4: Predict the winners and number of goals in each of the Round of 32 fixtures (result after 90 minutes plus injury time, excluding extra time or penalties).
Matchday 5: Predict the winners and number of goals for the Round of 16 games (same 90-minute rules apply).
Matchday 6: Forecast the winners and correct scorelines for the Quarter Finals (after 90 minutes plus injury time).
Matchday 7: Predict the exact scorelines for both Semi Finals (after 90 minutes plus injury time). The tiebreaker is the minute of the first goal in the first Semi Final.
Matchday 8: Predict the exact scorelines for the 3rd Place Play-off and World Cup Final (after 90 minutes plus injury time). The tiebreaker is the minute of the first goal in the Final.

Every prediction will earn you a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours, meaning players can accumulate up to £40/€40 in free bets throughout the tournament — even if none of their results are correct. The most accurate predictors each round will share a £1,000/€1,000 jackpot, which resets after every matchday.
