Bracket explorer
This is the real 2026 knockout tree. Slots fill in automatically as the group stage decides winners, runners-up and the eight best third-placed teams; finished knockout matches lock in green. Everything still open is yours to call — tap a side to send it through, round by round, and see how your champion squares with the forecast model’s probability for them.
Forecast numbers come from the Monte-Carlo engine — model probabilities, not advice.

How the bracket fills
Twelve group winners and twelve runners-up are joined by the eight best third-placed teams. Each Round-of-32 slot accepts thirds only from a fixed set of groups (the codes you see on unfilled slots), so the bracket’s shape is known even before the names are. From there it’s win-or-go-home: extra time, then a shootout if needed — the explorer’s one-tap calls cover all of that with a single judgment: who advances.
