Enter a value for group (a–l) to see your result.

How it works

Build one World Cup 2026 group table (4 teams) from wins, draws, losses, and goals. The 2026 tournament has 12 groups (A–L); run this once per group. See points, goal difference, and who would advance as top two — with tiebreaker notes when teams are level on points.

Formula

Points = (Wins × 3) + (Draws × 1)

W
Wins (3 points each)
D
Draws (1 point each)
GD
Goals for minus goals against

Step by step

  1. 01Pick which group you are modeling (A through L). Each group has four teams playing three matches.
  2. 02Enter each team's results after their group matches (or partway through the group stage).
  3. 03Wins, draws, and losses must total at most 3 per team in the group stage.
  4. 04The table sorts by points, then goal difference, then goals scored.
  5. 05The top two teams in each group advance; eight best third-place teams also qualify — use the third-place table tool for that ranking.

Examples

Qualification summary:
Top two advance: Brazil and Switzerland.
Note: One group at a time — World Cup 2026 has 12 groups (A–L), not a single combined table. Repeat for each group, or use the third-place table tool to rank all 12 third-place finishers. Illustrative planning tool — not affiliated with FIFA. Verify official standings at fifa.com. When teams tie on points, FIFA applies head-to-head results before overall goal difference. This tool uses overall GD/GF unless you enter full match-by-match data in the scenario calculator. Win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0 points.
