FIFA Playoffs

FIFA World Cup 2026 - Playoffs

The playoffs are the World Cup's second KisaPlay game with separate leaderboards. If you missed the group stage, you can still start here before the knockout games begin.

When

28 June-19 July 2026

Where

Canada, Mexico, and the United States, with knockout games across host cities through the final.

Background

This is a fresh start for the 32-team playoff bracket. Group-stage points do not carry over, so every player starts the playoff leaderboards from zero.

Tournament format

The playoffs are a 32-team knockout bracket. Predict each knockout match until 5 minutes before kick-off, and make medal picks before the first playoff game starts.

Sport

In football, you predict the regular-time score. As the tournament progresses, groups, knockout games, and possible lineups update on the game-specific pages.

Choose a game

The World Cup is clearly split into two games: the group stage and the later playoffs. Each has its own fixtures, predictions, and leaderboards, so people can still join the playoff game even if they missed the groups.
