2026 World Cup Finals 32-team Edition

Teams from Pots 3 and 4 begin in regional qualifiers. CONCACAF and AFC run separate qualification paths, with winners advancing to the intercontinental playoffs alongside New Zealand and Paraguay. Six teams from UEFA also conducts its own playoff round.

The winners from these stages will join Pot 1 and Pot 2 teams in the 32-team group stage.

Standings by Confederation or Tag

In the group stage, go to "Group / Overall" → "Table" to view standings grouped by confederation or tag. This includes total matches played, points, goals scored, goals conceded, and more.

The Confederations tab also introduces a "PE%" column (Point Efficiency), showing how efficiently teams from each confederation earn points relative to the maximum possible.

For Tag-based standings, only regional tags (e.g. Southern Europe, Middle East, East Asia, Western Europe) are included. To enable a tag, use the Tag Editor and activate the "Show team standings" option.

Clicking a confederation or tag name will display all participating teams within that group.

Scoreline Editing

Scorelines can now be edited during simulations. Previously, edits were only available before matches began.

Season page -> Stats tabs

The filter section now allows filtering by venue (home, away, neutral) and result (win, loss, draw). This works the same way as the "Past Meetings" view accessed from a team page.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a freezing issue that could occur when enabling “Group Probabilities” in group stages.

Fixed a bug in the knockout stages where navigating from the second page of the Round of 32 to the Round of 16 might cause matches not being displayed.
