The tournament is split into 12 rounds: 5 during the group stages and 7 during the knockouts. In each round, you pick exactly one team to win their match.

You must lock in your first pick before 20:00 (UK time) on Saturday 13th June 2026. If you miss this deadline, you cannot play. Let’s look at William Hill’s Final One Standing game for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

Survival Rules

  • Group Stages (Rounds 1 to 5): Your chosen team must win. If they draw or lose, you are eliminated.
  • Knockout Stages (Rounds 6 to 12): Your team just needs to advance to the next round. It doesn’t matter if they do it in 90 minutes, extra time, or on penalties. If they get through, you stay in the game.

Pick Restrictions

You cannot just back the tournament favourites every time.

  • Rounds 1 to 7: You can only pick a team once. If you use England in Round 1, you cannot pick them again during this phase.
  • First Reset: After Round 7, your picks reset. Any team still left in the tournament is available for you to pick again.
  • Rounds 8 to 10: The restriction returns. You can only pick a team once.
  • Final Reset: After Round 10, the restrictions are gone. For Rounds 11 and 12, you can pick any team you want.

The £250,000 Jackpot

Winnings are paid in cash directly to your main balance within 48 hours of the tournament ending. The money is distributed in three ways:

  • If you are the last player remaining, you get the full £250,000.
  • If all remaining players are knocked out in the exact same round, the jackpot is split equally among them. (Anyone knocked out in earlier rounds gets nothing).
  • If multiple players survive all 12 rounds without a wrong pick, the money is split equally among them.
