World Cup 2026 Results Simulator

In order to place educated bets on a tournament it is an advantage to be able to map out how you see the events unfold. Some teams may be given an “easier” route to the final stages than others, and spotting these potential avenues are where value can be found.

For the upcoming 2026 World Cup there is an unprecedented 48 teams taking part, initially segregated in 12 four team groups. Traditionally the top two teams from each group would progress but this time there is the possibility for third placed teams to also advance. The AllBets.TV World Cup Simulator has been programmed to take the qualifying criteria into account, and will accurately show given the results you input, who will advance and who they will be drawn against in the knock out stages.

World Cup Simulator: A handy tool for playing with “what if” scenarios

It is quick and easy to play with possible outcomes and see what effect they would have on the later stage match ups.. Every time you enter a new match result, the algorithm accurately updates all the knock-on effects of this to produce a new set of fixtures in the knockout stages.

✅ Have fun playing with potential World Cup results to simulate what that would mean
✅ Potentially find value outright or to reach the final (or semi final) stages by identifying which teams should have the easiest path.
✅ See how far your team will progress and who they will face on way to the final if your predictions come true.

How does the World Cup Simulator work?

In short, you enter what you think will be the final score for each match, that is what you must do. You can choose when to begin entering the data, either at the final qualifying stages (if before March 31st) or straight to the group stages if after when all the teams will be known.

Go through each game adding the predicted scoreline and the predictor will automatically use that data to calculate who won, and the relevant goal differences, and combine that for all of the games to produce the final group table with each teams points and goal difference.

From that the relevant data will be used to create the next stages, placing all the top two teams plus the qualifying third placed teams into their relevant brackets. Now that you are shown who will be playing who in the knock out rounds you can then repeat this process. Enter your predicted scorelines, and each time you move to the next round with the next set of matches.

For the knock out rounds even if you predict a draw initially you are still required to say who eventually qualifies, either via extra time or penalties.

You can go back and revise scorelines to see the effects that this will have on who is playing who and win and manually construct what you think are the most likely routes the teams you support (or are considering betting on) have on the road to World Cup Glory.
