WORLD CUP · INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL
Prediction games and sweepstakes for football's biggest tournament.
The World Cup is the biggest event in international football — a month of group games and knockout drama that only comes around once every four years. Own The League turns it into a game you can play with friends, family or the whole office: fill in your wallchart, call your winners through the group stage and knockouts, and follow it all the way to the final.
It's free to set up and free to play. Create a private league, share the join code, and get everyone's picks in before the tournament kicks off. There's no stake and no catch — just a month of bragging rights up for grabs.
You don't need to follow international football closely to join in. Pick on form, pick on a hunch, or pick the shirt you like best — everyone lines up on the same leaderboard once the group stage gets under way.

Call it from the group stage to the final.
Predict your way through the tournament — group results and knockout winners all the way to the final. Points roll in as the real results land, and the wallchart tracks the whole thing for you.
Returns every four years for the FIFA World Cup finals.
The World Cup runs from a group stage into the knockout rounds — last 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final — over about a month every four years. It's a tournament the whole world watches, which makes a prediction league or office sweepstake the perfect way to follow it together.
You don't need to be a football obsessive to join in. Casual fans and lifelong students of the game all end up on the same leaderboard, and a good wallchart call is worth just as much as deep tournament knowledge.
Because it only comes round every four years, a World Cup league has a habit of turning into the get-together people talk about long after the final whistle.
