The 2026 FIFA World Cup is one of the most watched events of the international sports calendar, and fans from across the globe will be trying to predict how far their team will go. I’m a data scientist and in an attempt to forecast the eventual tournament winner, semi-finalists and teams’ chances of progressing through the group stages, I built a model to predict how the World Cup may unfold. Here’s how I did it and what my model predicted. Lessons from recent history For thi
A data scientist has developed a mathematical model to simulate the 2026 FIFA World Cup one million times, aiming to predict team progression and the eventual winner. The expanded 48-team format, with new rules and an increased number of matches, presents a unique challenge for forecasting.
Historical data from previous 32-team tournaments shows a strong dominance by a few nations in reaching the semi-finals and finals. The simulation study analyzes the chances of all 48 participating teams, offering insights into how the new format distributes probabilities and impacts the prospects of top contenders.
This analysis provides fans and analysts with a data-driven perspective on team performance probabilities in the significantly altered 2026 World Cup format.
