HOW DOES IT WORK?

Submit your prediction using the form on this page. Entries are accepted from June 1, 2026 through the end of the quarterfinals – the last chance to enter is July 14, 2026 at 8:00 PM (CET).

Every participant has the chance to win one of 25 exclusive Lock packages. The more accurate your prediction, the higher your score – and the greater your chances of being among the winners.

Points are awarded based on the accuracy of your prediction. The table below shows the full breakdown:

Winners are determined using the following process:

• Step 1 – Ranking: After the World Cup Final, all participants are ranked in descending order by their point score.
• Step 2 – Top scorers: Up to 25 participants with the highest point totals (more than 0 points) are considered first for winning a Lock package.
• Step 3 – Fewer than 25 top scorers: If fewer than 25 participants have scored any points, the remaining packages will be drawn by lot from all other participants who submitted a valid entry (prize draw eligibility).
• Step 4 – Tie on a winning position: If multiple participants share the same score and that score qualifies for one of the 25 spots, the earliest submission time serves as the tiebreaker. In the event of technically identical timestamps, the winner will be decided by lot.

• Entry deadline: Predictions may only be submitted between June 1, 2026 and the end of the quarterfinals – the final deadline is July 14, 2026 at 8:00 PM (CET).
• One entry per person: Each person may only enter once.
• Duplicate entries: Multiple submissions – even under different contact details – will result in disqualification. Only the first valid entry will be considered.
• Complete entry required: Participants who do not fill in all required fields (winning nation and final score) are not eligible to win. The “Penalty shootout” field is optional.
• Early submission advantage: In the event of a tie, the earliest submission time is the deciding factor. Later entrants have the informational advantage of knowing group stage results – earlier submissions are therefore given priority in the event of equal scores.
• Use of names: Lock GmbH reserves the right to use the names of winners in internal communications and on its channels relating to the competition.
• Announcement of winners: Winners will be contacted via the email address provided and announced on our communication channels.
• No correspondence: The final score, point allocation, and ranking are not subject to discussion or correspondence. The organizer’s decision is final.
• Liability: Lock GmbH accepts no responsibility for any consequences arising from participation in the prediction contest.
• Right to modify or cancel: Lock GmbH reserves the right to suspend or terminate the contest at any time without prior notice.
• Data privacy: Lock GmbH collects only your name, gender, company name, and email address. After submitting the form, participants will receive an automated confirmation email. All data is handled confidentially and will not be shared with third parties. Our privacy policy applies in accordance with GDPR.
• Sponsors: Any sponsors are not responsible in any way for the organization, execution, or outcomes of the contest.
