What this is

CupDays is a free, ad-supported schedule, picks game, and printable wallchart for the FIFA World Cup 2026. We are an independent project, not affiliated with FIFA, any host country's federation, or any participating team. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Use of the service

You may use the public site freely — view the schedule, customize the wallchart, download PDFs, share links — for personal or non-commercial purposes. You may also print and pin up the wallcharts in your workplace, fan venue, classroom, or community space.

Bulk scraping, automated mass-downloading, and reverse-engineering the PDF generator for commercial resale are not permitted. If you want to embed our schedule in a third-party product or service, contact hello@cupdays.com.

Accounts

You can sign in with Google, X, or a one-time email link to play the picks game and have a public profile at cupdays.com/u/<your-slug>. By signing in you confirm you're old enough to enter into the chosen provider's terms (13+ for Google in the US; 13+ for X), and that the account is for you — no bots, no impersonation, no one-person-many-accounts to manipulate leaderboards.

You're responsible for keeping access to your sign-in method secure. We do not store passwords for any provider. If your Google or X account is compromised, that compromise extends to your CupDays account; secure the upstream account first, then email hello@cupdays.com if you need us to reset or close your CupDays record.

We may suspend or delete accounts that abuse the picks game (multi-accounting, scripted picks, abusive display names) or that violate these terms. Account deletion on request: email hello@cupdays.com from the address tied to the account and we'll remove it within 7 days. See the privacy policy for exactly what we store.

The picks game

The picks game is free to play. There are no entry fees and no cash prizes. Leaderboards and streaks are for fun, not for money. CupDays is not a gambling product and does not facilitate wagering of any kind.

Picks lock at each match's official kickoff time. After kickoff you can no longer change your pick for that match. Scoring runs after the final whistle based on the official result; if a result is later corrected (forfeit, overturned, scoring error on our end), we may re-score affected picks and notify users whose totals change.

AI rivals you see on the picks page are language-model agents we run for entertainment. Their picks are generated automatically before kickoff and locked at the same time as yours. They are not endorsements of any outcome.

Schedule accuracy

Match dates, times, venues, and team assignments are sourced from publicly available FIFA announcements. We make best efforts to keep them current, but cannot guarantee accuracy. Confirm match times with your local broadcaster or the official FIFA channels before planning to attend or watch.

Once knockout brackets are determined by group-stage results, the bracket pages and per-team posters update with real pairings. Until then, all knockout slots show "TBD".

Sponsor placements

Wallcharts and other PDFs include reserved zones for sponsor branding. While the marketplace is in pre-launch, those zones display lead-generation placeholders linking to /sponsor. When sponsors are added, the placeholders are replaced with sponsor logos.

Sponsorships are vetted by us before going live. We do not endorse any sponsor's products or services. If you have a complaint about a specific sponsor, email hello@cupdays.com.

Advertising

The public web pages display ads via Google AdSense. Ads are served by Google and may use cookies and personalization per Google's privacy policy. Ads are never embedded in the printable PDFs — those are reserved for direct sponsorship inventory only.

Limitation of liability

The service is provided as-is, free of charge. We accept no liability for missed matches, schedule changes, travel decisions made on the basis of our data, printing costs incurred, picks game outcomes, leaderboard standings, or any other consequence of relying on the site. If your printer eats the wallchart, that's between you and the printer. If a draw busts your bracket, that's between you and the football gods.

DMCA & takedowns

If you believe content on CupDays infringes your copyright or trademark, send a DMCA-compliant notice to hello@cupdays.com. We respond to all valid notices within 7 days.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the product changes. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
