BBC Launches World Cup Predictor, Win Signed Ball

The Game Unveiled

BBC Sport has launched an interactive World Cup predictor game, giving football enthusiasts the chance to win a signed football. The platform arrives as fans gear up for the sport’s most prestigious tournament.

The game tasks users with forecasting match results, from the group stage all the way to the final. Accuracy across every fixture determines the overall winner.

How to Participate

Registration is free through the BBC Sport website. Participants must submit predictions before each match kicks off.

• Predict scores for every World Cup fixture
• Score points for correct outcomes and bonus for exact scores
• Track your rank on global leaderboards

"From the first whistle to the trophy lift, every correct call edges you closer to a piece of football history."

The stakes are simple: the player with the highest points tally at the end of the tournament walks away with an authentic match ball, personally autographed by a star player. Details on the signing athlete will be revealed closer to the event.

Why It Matters

Predictor games have become a staple of fan engagement, blending strategy with a dash of intuition. BBC’s entry leverages its extensive World Cup coverage to create a seamless second-screen experience.

While bragging rights alone motivate many, the physical prize—a signed football—adds a tangible layer of excitement. The game also includes private leagues, allowing friends, families, or office groups to compete internally.

Key Dates

• Registration: Open now
• First match deadline: set before the opening game; exact times will be listed on the platform
• Winner announcement: shortly after the final

The predictor is live now, with the tournament schedule locked in and ready for forecasts. Fans are urged to sign up early to avoid missing the first kick-off.
