SNL Film Presents · 11 June – 19 July 2026
A private prediction competition for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Two phases, one prize pool, six weeks of glory or shame.
How It Works
Phase One closes before the opening match. Phase Two opens once the group stage ends and locks before the first knockout kickoff — so a soft start in the groups doesn't end your tournament.
Predict every score in all twelve groups. Points for the result, more for the exact score.
Fill the entire bracket from Round of 32 to the Final. Points escalate each round, with bonus multipliers for exact scores and correct teams.
The Maths
Groups are flat: 1 point for the right result, 3 points for the exact score.
Knockouts escalate. The Final pays eight times a Round of 32 result, with ×2 for exact scores and ×3 if you also called both teams correctly.
| Round of 32 | 5 | ×2 exact score |
| Round of 16 | 10 | ×2 score · ×3 + teams |
| Quarter Finals | 20 | ×2 score · ×3 + teams |
| Semi Finals | 30 | ×2 score · ×3 + teams |
| Third-Place Playoff | 10 | ×2 score · ×3 + teams |
| The Final | 40 | ×2 score · ×3 + teams |
The Pool
Settled in whichever currency you entered. The host shares payment details — Venmo, PayPal, or UK bank transfer — in the players' WhatsApp group.
Ties split the prize. No refunds, no withdrawals, no negotiation.

Key Dates
Frequently Asked
Yes — edit as often as you like up to the deadline. Once the deadline passes, your last saved entry is locked. There's no grace period; the host posts reminders in the players' WhatsApp group 48 hours and 2 hours out.
Yes. Each knockout match has a single recorded result for prediction purposes — whether settled in 90 minutes, after extra time, or on penalties. A match decided on penalties is recorded as the extra-time score plus one goal to the shootout winner. So 2–2 after 120 minutes with Germany winning on penalties is recorded as 2–3.
You split the prize for the relevant places evenly. There are no tiebreakers — clean and uncontested.
The host shares payment details — Venmo (US), PayPal (international), or UK bank transfer — in the players' WhatsApp group. Entries are confirmed once payment is received.
If FIFA reschedules a match, deadlines move with it. If a match is voided entirely (unprecedented but possible), predictions for that match are voided and points removed across the board.
Within one week of the Final, by the same method you used to pay in.
