The World Cup 2026 Zero-goal Match Checker

What?

This is a complete World Cup 2026 match schedule that tells you whether a game ended in a 0-0 draw. That’s it!

Why?

I made this because my partner loves to watch World Cup matches but wants to skip the matches where nobody scores, because those (usually) aren’t very exciting and there are a lot of matches.

This site makes it easy to check on matches from the day to find out if you can get by with a the highlights instead of a 90-minute match.

Which matches can end in a 0-0 draw?

Only matches in the Group Stage (the first stage) can end in a 0-0 draw. After that, matches must have a winner.

Why are some team matchups hidden?

To prevent spoilers, I hide the teams for matches in future rounds that would reveal the result of a match happening today. (If the most recently completed match happened before today, no matchups are hidden.)

Who made this?

This was built by Matt McVickar, a software engineer in Portland, OR, US.

How does it work?

The code is open source on GitHub.

The World Cup match data comes from the openfootball worldcup.json project. New data is fetched and saved to a local JSON file whenever this page loads, as long as it has been at least five minutes since the last time it was fetched.
