FAQ

Every time a player who plays for one of the tracked clubs appears (starts or comes on as a substitute) for their national team in a World Cup match, their club earns:

• 1 point for the appearance
• 3 points for a win
• 1 point for a draw

These add up, so a player who starts a winning match earns their club 1 + 3 = 4 base points, a draw earns 1 + 1 = 2 base points, and a loss earns just the 1 appearance point. If a club has several capped players who all appear in the same match, all of their points count. A club with five players who start a winning group stage match earns 5 × 4 = 20 points from that one match.

Those base points then scale up by how far into the tournament the match is, since a result deeper in the knockouts matters more:

• Group Stage: x1 (no change)
• Round of 32: x2
• Round of 16: x3
• Quarter Finals: x4
• Semi Finals and 3rd Place Playoff: x5
• Final: x6

So the same starting, winning performance that earns 4 points in the group stage is worth 4 × 6 = 24 points in the Final.

The actual outcome, whoever advances, not just the goals scored in normal or extra time. A match that finishes 1-1 and is won on penalties still awards the winning side's clubs the full win value (3 for the win plus 1 for appearing, before that stage's multiplier), not the draw value.

Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1, plus a shortlist of clubs from other leagues (MLS, Liga MX, Saudi Pro League, and more) under the Other Leagues filter, around 190 clubs in total.

Golden Club ranks every tracked club, including Other Leagues clubs, by total goals scored by their capped players at the World Cup, not by points. A club can top Golden Club without leading the main Standings table, and vice versa. Points are shown alongside for context, but goals decide the ranking.

Data first, not guessed. Every national team's full World Cup squad was pulled from the same source used for the five main leagues, and any player whose club wasn't already one of those five was tallied up by squad size and points and goals already generated. The clubs with the most WC26 relevance by that measure were activated, capped at roughly 80 clubs so the list stays meaningful rather than including every club with a single capped player.

Probably not. Either none of their capped players have appeared in a finished match yet, or none of their current squad were called up to a World Cup squad at all.

Whichever club they currently play for, not whichever club they played for historically. Squads are refreshed periodically to reflect transfers.

No, and it never needs to again. The 2026 World Cup is over, every one of the 104 matches has been scored, and the site is preserved exactly as it stood at the final whistle. The story of the tournament is the best place to start, and Matches lists every game with the players and clubs that scored points in it.

Standings is the current combined table across every tracked league, ranked by points. Progress shows how points and rank have shifted over time, as a line chart, an animated bar chart race, or a Stages view that freezes the table at the end of each stage of the tournament (group stage, Round of 32, Round of 16, and so on) so you can see exactly where things stood at each milestone. Golden Club is the same set of clubs ranked by goals instead of points.
