JOE's World Cup Predictor is here!
The United States, Canada and Mexico will host the greatest sporting event on earth this summer, with more teams than ever, more games than ever, and without doubt more controversy than ever.
And you can have a stake in every single match day during the World Cup, with our free-to-play game and a chance to win £1,000/€1,000 by predicting a series of outcomes!
Each matchday we pick a mix of questions: who wins each game, total goals, corners, penalties, first goalscorer — and tournament-wide calls like who'll lift the trophy. Get your picks in before the deadline.
Create a mini-league, share the code with mates, and compete for the top spot every matchday.
Simple calls (match result, total goals, both teams to score) score 1 point. Stat questions (corners, cards, penalty, red card) score 2. Jackpot picks (first goalscorer, exact score) score 4–5. Tournament-wide questions score 10.
Your matchday points roll into the public World Cup leaderboard and into any mini-league you join. Top performers each week share the prize pool.
Miss the deadline and you score zero for that matchday. Set deadline reminders on the Account page so you never miss a matchday.
The total daily prize pool is €1,000 for winners residing in the Republic of Ireland, or £1,000 for winners residing in the United Kingdom.
Any entrant who correctly predicts all outcomes wins the prize.
If more than one entrant correctly predicts all outcomes, the prize pool will be split equally among the winning entrants. (For example, if there is one UK winner and one ROI winner, they will receive £500 and €500 respectively).
In the event that nobody correctly predicts all outcomes in a given game day, an extra £100/€100 will be added to the next day prize fund.
18+. One entry per person per game round. Prizes, thresholds and scoring can change between seasons — the latest rules always live on this page. Read full terms and conditions.
