Best XI
Highest-rated lineup right now · 3-4-3 · Refresh to recompute
The Best XI is the strongest starting eleven at the 2026 World Cup according to fan votes, laid out on the pitch in a 3-4-3 formation. Each slot is filled by the highest-rated available player for that role — three forwards, four midfielders, three defenders and a goalkeeper — using the live Elo ratings that power the rest of WC26 Arena. Because those ratings shift with every vote, the lineup is never fixed: switch on Knockouts Only to build the best team from players still in the tournament, or download the XI as an image to share your dream team.
