bracket
overview
A live bracket display for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Auto-zooms to the current live match, and shows the full knockout bracket alongside completed group stage results.
Updates every 30 seconds during live matches, and every 5 minutes otherwise.
Sibling site: live-scores covers golf leaderboards and football standings using the same "least annoying way to check the score" ethos, and fans out to bracket's own editions.
