World Cup 2030 prediction pool — the centenary tournament, your pool

Q: When and where is the 2030 World Cup?

The 2030 FIFA World Cup — the tournament's centenary edition — is scheduled for June–July 2030, hosted mainly by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with celebratory opening matches planned in South America to mark 100 years since the first World Cup in Uruguay.

Q: How does a World Cup prediction pool work?

Everyone predicts the score of each match before kickoff and earns points for accuracy — typically 3 points for an exact score, 1 for the correct outcome — with knockout rounds worth more each round so the final matters most. A shared leaderboard ranks the group across the whole month. No money needs to be involved.

The 2030 World Cup is the tournament's 100th-anniversary edition — hosted across Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with opening celebrations in South America where it all began. Every group chat, office, and family will want a prediction pool. This is the organizer's guide: how pools work, the scoring that keeps them fair, and the free app that runs everything — BeTeam, proven on 470,000+ predictions during World Cup 2026.

How a World Cup pool works

Score predictions, locked at kickoff. Everyone forecasts every match before it starts — no edits once the whistle goes.
3 / 1 / 0 scoring. Exact score beats right outcome beats nothing (the full system).
Knockouts double each round. The final is worth the most, so the pool peaks with the tournament. Knockout games count after extra time; shootouts score as a draw.
One leaderboard for a whole month — the World Cup is the single best pool format in sport: everyone watches, everyone has an opinion, and it happens once every four years.

What we learned running World Cup 2026 pools

BeTeam ran 3,500+ private pools through the 2026 tournament — 472,050 scored predictions, with up to 80% of all registered users predicting on a single matchday (the full case study). The lesson for organizers: pools live or die on two things — predictions that genuinely lock at kickoff, and nobody having to be the scorekeeper. Both are exactly what the app automates. If you'd rather do it by hand, our free spreadsheet template is honest about the trade-off.

Until then

World Cup 2030 fixtures open in the app when they're released. The groups that dominate tournament pools are the ones that play together all season — start with a Premier League or Champions League league now, and by 2030 your pool is a tradition, not an experiment. Euro 2028 comes first anyway: that guide is here.
