What is this?

World Cup 2026 Hub is a fan-made website for the FIFA World Cup 2026 — the first tournament hosted across Mexico, the USA and Canada, with 48 teams and 104 matches.

It pulls the whole tournament onto a single, fast page: when the next match kicks off, how every group is shaping up, who advances, where the games are played, and how you'd fill out the knockout bracket. Results roll in as the tournament goes, and you can flip the entire interface between English and Português at any time.

Nothing to install (although you can — see Under the hood), no sign-up, no ads. Just open it.

🎬 Explore the pages

🏠 Home

The next match with a live countdown, plus the tournament at a glance.

📅 Matches

All 104 games in one place — search by team, city or stadium, filter by date, group, phase, team or venue, and flag your favourites with “My matches”.

📊 Groups

Live standings for all 12 groups, worked out automatically from the results — points, goal difference, goals scored — with clear markers for who qualifies (and who’s chasing a best-third-place spot).

🏆 Knockout bracket

The centrepiece. A gorgeous interactive bracket that fills itself in as teams advance. Hover a team to trace its whole path to the final, zoom and pan around, switch between three layouts — and predict it yourself: pick winners, watch the rounds re-draw, then see how your picks score against the real results. You can even share your bracket as a link.

🏟️ Stadiums

All 16 host venues across the three countries, each with its capacity and a jump straight to the matches played there.

📈 Stats

A tournament stats screen: goals by stage and by round, records, a full 1–48 ranking and a head-to-head team comparator. Once the final is played, a champion “verdict” takes over the top of the page.

✨ Under the hood (for the curious)

You don't need to be a developer to appreciate a few things that make this special:

• ⚡ Loads in a blink. The whole site is about 74 KB of JavaScript — smaller than a single phone photo — with no frameworks and no libraries. It's just clean, hand-written code.
• 🔮 Predict the bracket. Choose winners and the bracket redraws all the way to the final; your picks are saved in your browser and can be handed to a friend as a link to compare.
• 🔄 Always current. New scores appear on their own — no need to refresh the page.
• 📱 Works everywhere. Phone, tablet or desktop, the layout adapts to fit.
• ⬇️ Installable. Add it to your home screen and it opens like a real app (it's a PWA).
• 🌍 Two languages. Every label is available in English and Portuguese, switchable on the fly.
• ♿ Built to be usable by everyone. Full keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, and it respects the system “reduce motion” setting.

Curious how it's put together, or want to run it yourself? See DEVELOPMENT.md.
