Who we are
worldcupkickoff.info ("we", "us", the "site") is an independent, fan-made schedule and live-scores site for the FIFA World Cup 2026. We are not affiliated with FIFA. You can reach us any time through our contact page.
What we store on your device
The site works without an account. To remember your preferences it stores a few values in your browser's local storage, which never leaves your device unless stated below:
- Viewing country / timezone — so kick-off times show in your local time.
- Language — your chosen interface language (English, Spanish or French).
- Live-scores toggle — whether scores are revealed or hidden.
- Cookie choice — your response to the consent notice, so we only ask once.
Goal alert notifications
If you opt in to goal alerts, your browser creates a push subscription that we store on our server: the push endpoint URL provided by your browser's push service, the subscription keys needed to encrypt messages to your device, and the Alert Teams you chose. No email, name or IP address is attached to an anonymous alert subscription.
- Turn alerts off at any time, which deletes the subscription from our server.
- If your browser reports the subscription as expired, we remove it automatically.
- Delivery is handled by your browser vendor's push service (for example Google's FCM for Chrome), which can observe the timing and frequency of messages as part of delivering them.
