FIFA World Cup 2026: predict who escapes all 12 groups.

The tournament that changed the format

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is unlike any that came before it. For the first time, 48 teams compete across 12 groups — up from the 32-team, 8-group format that ran from 1998 through 2022. Two teams advance from each group, plus the top eight third-placed sides, but the interesting part — the fun part — is picking which two from each group make it through.

Twelve groups means twelve rounds of the same question: who goes home, who goes on? Some answers feel obvious. Others are wide open. And a few groups will have football fans arguing right up until the final whistle of the last match.

That's the game. And it's exactly what the World Cup 2026 group stage predictions survey on Quizzy.earth is about.

How the quiz works

It's one question per group. For each of the 12 groups you pick the two teams you think will advance. That's it. No trivia, no correct answers yet — this is a prediction survey, not a knowledge test.

Once you've picked, you see the live crowd percentages for every team in that group: what fraction of everyone who's played so far has backed each side. It's a quick gut-check against the crowd — are you with the majority, or do you have a contrarian take worth defending in your group chat?

Each question also carries a short "did you know" fact about the group — a bit of context to spark conversation or quietly settle an argument.

And the questions aren't open forever. Each group locks roughly one hour after its final match. After that, the correct teams are revealed — who actually advanced — and you can see how your picks held up against both the crowd and reality.

Why this is different from a normal quiz

Quizzy recently added a new mode called survey. In survey mode, a question collects opinions or predictions without needing a fixed correct answer upfront. The host can set the right answer later — after the event — and choose when to reveal it.

The World Cup predictions quiz is built on exactly that. Right now, nobody knows who'll top Group A or slip out of Group F. The quiz captures your prediction today, shows you the crowd's lean, and then — once the group stage is done — reveals who called it. Think of it less like a pub quiz and more like a bracket you fill in before the tournament starts.

There's no "right answer yet." That's what makes it worth arguing about.

What you'll see after you vote

After each pick, the survey flips to show the crowd split. For the big groups — the ones with a genuine contender and a handful of wildcards — the percentages are often more surprising than you'd expect. Consensus picks are real. But so are the upsets nobody saw coming.

The live percentages update as more people play. If you share the link and twenty people in your group chat pile in, you'll be able to see whether your WhatsApp friends are backing the same sides as the rest of the world or going their own way.

Make your own prediction survey

The World Cup quiz is one example of what survey mode can do. You can build the same thing for anything where the answer isn't known yet — a league season, an awards show, an election, a family sweepstake.
