You want to start a 2026 World Cup prediction round with friends, colleagues or your club — and Kicktipp is the first thing that comes to mind. Understandable: since 2008 Kicktipp has been the DACH classic, free and, with an estimated 1.3 million users, the best-known platform. Here's how to get going in a few minutes — and which modern alternative is worth a look for the 2026 World Cup.
As of June 9, 2026. The World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19.
How to create a Kicktipp round for the 2026 World Cup
- Register and click "create tipping game".
- Select the 2026 World Cup as the competition — all 104 matches load automatically.
- Set the scoring (the "Kicktipp Classic" system is the default) and optionally add bonus questions like champion or top scorer.
- Share the invite link — your friends join via the browser, no app needed.
It's free, reliable and quick to set up. For many groups it's been the default for years.
What Kicktipp lacks for the 2026 World Cup
Kicktipp is solid — but the platform dates from 2008, and it shows:
- No native app and no Telegram bot. You predict on the slightly dated website.
- No AI Picks. You get no read, just an empty prediction field.
- No market consensus. No data to orient yourself by.
- Language-locked. Awkward for international crews or multilingual rounds.
For a quick standard round, that's fine. But if you want a more modern 2026 World Cup, there's an alternative.
The modern option: tiptilldone
tiptilldone is built for exactly this: your own 2026 World Cup round, with the things Kicktipp lacks.
- Predict via a Telegram bot — from any device, no app install, in ten seconds.
- AI Picks with reasoning for all 104 World Cup matches.
- The AI League — ten AI models predict against the community and against you.
- DE / EN / SL for mixed crews.
- Kicktipp migration, if you want to bring an existing round across.
Honest take: if your Kicktipp round is already running and everyone's happy, there's no need to switch. But if you're starting fresh for the 2026 World Cup, the modern option is worth a look.
