The Simpsons’ 2026 FIFA World Cup Prediction — Fact or Fiction?

Before almost every major 2026 World Cup match, social media users have shared The Simpsons-style images apparently revealing the winner, final score or even the tournament champion. Some clips look convincing enough to suggest they came from episodes broadcast decades ago.

The timing makes the claims especially powerful: a supposed prediction appears before kick-off, then spreads rapidly when part of it matches reality. Tracing the footage to its original source, however, reveals several very different stories hiding behind the same yellow characters.
