Resolution criteria

• This market resolves to YES if there are strictly fewer than 7 matches (i.e., 6 or fewer) in the 2026 FIFA World Cup that end in a 0-0 score.

• This market resolves to NO if 7 or more matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup end in a 0-0 score.

• A match is considered to end in a "0-0 score" if the score is 0-0 at the conclusion of active play. This includes the 90 minutes of regulation time plus stoppage time, and, in the knockout rounds, the 30 minutes of extra time plus stoppage time if played.

• If a knockout match is scoreless at the end of extra time and goes to a penalty shootout, it still counts as a 0-0 score for this market. A match decided in extra time (e.g., ending 1-0 in extra time) does not count as a 0-0 score.

• The primary source of truth will be the official match schedules and statistics on the FIFA official website. If FIFA's official data is unavailable, trusted statistical aggregates such as FBref or ESPN will be used as a fallback.

Background

• The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the first edition to feature an expanded 48-team format. This increases the total number of tournament matches from 64 to 104.

• Historically, the record for the most 0-0 draws in a single World Cup is 7, which occurred in the 1982, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2022 tournaments.

• Despite the 62.5% increase in total matches played (104 games compared to 64 in 2022), this market hinges on whether the tournament can average a much lower frequency of scoreless matches than previous iterations.
