BOYLE Sports is once again sponsoring our free-to-play World Cup match predictor, now open for Round 4, where a £1,000 prize pool is up for grabs alongside a free £5 bet for all participants.

After already awarding £3,000 in previous rounds, the competition continues with five more £1,000 jackpots waiting to be claimed. It’s completely free to participate, and every entry earns you a £5 bet credited to your BOYLE Sports account for each round you play. The earlier rounds required only a prediction of win, loss, or draw, but as we move into the knockout phase, the challenge has stepped up.

In this stage, you must predict which nation will advance and how many goals will be scored in normal time (excluding extra time and penalties) across eight Round of 32 fixtures. Entries close at 8pm this Wednesday, so make sure to submit your predictions before the deadline.

For each stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup — including the three group games, Round of 32, Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final — BOYLE Sports is running a free competition exclusively for readers of FourFourTwo.com. Below is the full schedule of the game and how to participate:

Matchday 1: Predict each nation's first game (win, lose, or draw) – NOW CLOSED
Matchday 2: Predict each nation's second game (win, lose, or draw) – NOW CLOSED
Matchday 3: Predict each nation's third game (win, lose, or draw) – NOW CLOSED
Matchday 4: Predict the winners and total goals (in 90 minutes plus injury time) for eight Round of 32 matches – CLOSES WED 8pm
Matchday 5: Predict the winners and total goals (in 90 minutes plus injury time) for the final four Round of 16 fixtures
Matchday 6: Predict the winners and correct scorelines (in 90 minutes plus injury time) for the three quarter-final matches
Matchday 7: Predict the correct scorelines for both semi-finals after 90 minutes plus injury time, with the first goal minute in the first semi-final as the tiebreaker
Matchday 8: Predict the correct scorelines for the third-place playoff and the World Cup final after 90 minutes plus injury time, with the first goal minute in the final serving as the tiebreaker.

Each time you participate, you’ll receive a £5/€5 free bet within 24 hours — meaning you could collect up to £40/€40 in free bets throughout the tournament, even if your predictions don’t hit the mark. The most accurate players in every round will share a £1,000/€1,000 jackpot, which renews for every stage of the competition.
