The countdown is on! The world's biggest soccer tournament kicks off on June 11, and there's no better way to get in on the action than with Yahoo's brand-new 2026 Soccer Pick 'Em with FOX One. Whether you're a seasoned fan or just getting into the beautiful game, this is your chance to test your knowledge, earn points, and climb the leaderboard.
Here's how it works: throughout the FIFA World Cup 2026™, you'll make picks on match outcomes and key moments. Correct answers earn you points, and you can compete solo against the field, challenge friends in a private group, or join a public group to play alongside other fans. Bragging rights are on the line, so every pick counts.
If you're new to soccer, don't worry—this tournament is bigger than ever, and we've got you covered. With 48 teams divided into 12 groups of four, this is the largest World Cup in history. After round-robin group play, the top two teams from each group advance to the Round of 32, along with the eight best third-place finishers. That means 104 total matches—40 more than the last World Cup—so there's plenty of action to follow.
When making your picks, you can go with your head (trust the betting favorites), your heart (root for your heritage), or even get creative by choosing based on your favorite flag or dream vacation spot. The goal is simple: make your World Cup journey even more exciting. And don't worry—we'll be rolling out plenty of content leading up to the tournament to help you make smarter picks.
