Frequently asked questions

futcup is a free football prediction game (Tippspiel) for your phone. You predict the score of every match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 — and other competitions like the UEFA Champions League — and earn points for how close you get. Compete with friends on live leaderboards or in private groups.

You earn 3 points for the exact score, 2 points for the correct winner with the exact goal difference, 1 point for the correct tendency (win, loss or draw) and 0 points for a miss. In knockout games your prediction of who advances also counts.
