World Cup 2026 knockout bracket probabilities based on 100,000 Monte Carlo simulations using Elo ratings
I built a Monte Carlo model for the 2026 FIFA World Cup using Elo ratings as the baseline team strength.
For each simulation, the remaining group matches are played out, the official FIFA Round of 32 bracket is generated and the entire knockout stage is simulated.
The visualization shows the most likely teams and matchups for every knockout slot based on 100,000 simulations.

Data sources:
• FIFA World Cup 2026 match schedule
• Elo ratings from eloratings.net http://eloratings.net
• Live results from ESPN/FIFA
Tools used:
• Python (Pandas, NumPy)
• Custom Monte Carlo simulation engine
• Custom bracket visualization
