Who is picking?

Choose the person, pick the category they want to play, then continue. Second Chance opens later after group play.

How this works Choose a family member, decide whether they are doing Full Bracket, Quick Pick, or Fantasy 5, then make or update that set of picks.

Full brackets close at kickoff of the first U.S. game on Friday June 12. Quick Pick and family missions stay open longer.

Quick Pick Bracket

Pick one team to win the World Cup, then choose up to 3 teams you think will go far. Your saved picks become a simple on-screen card.

0 / 1 + 0 / 3
Quick Pick preview Best for younger kids or busy adults: choose one winner, add up to three teams to go far, then see everything clearly after it is saved.

Built for younger kids: one winner pick now. Weekly missions and extra activities come later.

Fantasy 5

Most World Cup fantasy games are complicated. Fantasy 5 keeps it family-friendly: pick 5 players, make one of them your captain, follow them through the tournament, and compete for prizes. You get 30 budget points and a max of 2 players from any one country.

Fantasy 5 preview Build a five-player squad, stay under 30 budget points, choose one captain, and avoid picking more than two players from the same country.

Simple scoring: players earn points when their country wins or ties in group play, advances, wins knockout games, and from player bonuses for goals, assists, and defender/keeper clean sheets.
