World Cup office poolReturns 2030

The World Cup office pool that runs itself

One prediction card per match, sent privately to everyone in your channel. Automatic scoring, one office table, and no spreadsheet for whoever volunteered to run it. We built it for the last tournament and it will be here for the next one.

Played it in 2026? Everything from that summer, including the 2026 final standings, is still on record at officeworldcup.com.

How a World Cup pool runs

Four steps, and the last two are not yours

The same loop every Office Rivals competition uses. Set it up once and the tournament runs without an organiser.

  1. 01

    Install it in your workspace

    Add Office Rivals to Slack or install it from the Google Chat Marketplace. It is free for your first five players, with no card and no trial clock.

  2. 02

    Run one command in a channel

    The channel you run it in becomes the pool. Everyone already in that channel is enrolled, and anyone who joins later is enrolled and welcomed automatically.

  3. 03

    Everyone predicts by private DM

    A card arrives before each match with the two teams on it. Tap a result, add a scoreline, done. Picks stay invisible to everyone else until kick-off, so nobody copies the colleague who follows the sport.

  4. 04

    Scores and the table post themselves

    The bot scores every match as it finishes and posts the recap and the updated office table back to the channel on the next working morning. Nobody keeps a spreadsheet and nobody chases picks.

What a tournament pool asks

One question per match, and it takes a second.

Group games ask who wins, or whether it is a draw. Knockout games ask who goes through. Adding the exact score is optional and worth more. Everything locks at kick-off, and nobody can edit a pick once it is in.

Between now and the tournament

Pick the rivalry your office already has.

Premier League, Champions League, NFL and F1 all run on the same install and the same player profiles. Start one now and the World Cup pool joins the same account when the tournament comes round.

Start free

Free for 5 players. No card, no trial clock.

Install it, run one command in the channel you want the pool in, and see whether the office gets into it before you pay anything.

World Cup office pool questions.

When is the next World Cup office pool?
The tournament returns in 2030. Office Rivals runs the same pool for the Premier League, the Champions League, the NFL and Formula 1 in the meantime, on the same install and the same player profiles.
How does a World Cup office pool actually work?
One prediction card per match, sent as a private DM. You call the result and, if you want, the exact score. Points are awarded automatically when the match finishes, and the office table updates in your channel. There is nothing to type and no fixture list for anyone to maintain.
Is there any money involved?
No. There is no stake, no entry fee, no odds and no payout anywhere in Office Rivals. It is free to play, which is exactly what makes it straightforward to run at work.
Can we start something before the tournament?
Yes, and it is the same product. Pick whichever competition your office already argues about, run it free for up to 5 players, and the World Cup pool later joins the same account.

Your office has opinions.
Put them on the table.

Install it free, choose your channel and see whether your coworkers get into it before you pay anything.
