Every group-stage match on one board
The expanded 48-team World Cup is split into 12 groups of four — Groups A through L — producing 72 group-stage matches before the knockouts. The matches board lets you filter by group and scan all of them at once, with each fixture showing the model home-win, draw and away-win probabilities side by side so you can immediately spot the closest contests and the clearest favourites.
- 72 group-stage matches across Groups A–L.
- Filter the board by group to focus on the teams you follow.
- Win, draw and loss probability on every fixture.
- Group stage runs June 11 to roughly June 27, 2026.
AI-anchored match previews
Each match links to a preview that goes beyond the scoreline. KickOracle blends team strength, squad chemistry, recent form, travel and rest, and venue climate into a single forecast, then surfaces the tactical storylines that move the probability. The featured preview at the top of the board highlights the most consequential upcoming fixture so you always have a read on the match that matters next.
From group fixtures to the knockout path
How a team navigates its six points of group fixtures determines its knockout seeding: the top two from each group plus the eight best third-place finishers advance to the Round of 32 starting June 28. The board makes it easy to follow which results tighten or loosen each group, and where a single upset reshapes the route toward the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium.
