Updated FIFA rankings · How it works
Pair up any two national teams, pick a multiplier (how much the match counts: friendlies are ×10, World Cup knockouts ×60), and see who would gain or lose points. The numbers use both teams' live points and FIFA's formula.
Nothing matches these filters.
FIFA publishes the official men's world ranking a few times a year. Between releases, this site takes the latest official points and adds the result of every international match played since, using FIFA's own formula. That's the live rank. The official rank is the one FIFA last published.
After each match, each team gains or loses points depending on the result, the strength of the opponent, and how much the match counts (its weight). Beating a stronger team earns more; losing to a weaker one costs more. Both teams' changes always add up to zero, except in knockout rounds of a final tournament, where the losing team keeps its points.
For upcoming matches, the numbers show what each team would gain or lose for a win, draw or loss, based on today's live points.
Rankings, results and fixtures come from FIFA's public data, updated about every hour. A few competitions FIFA's feed doesn't carry (such as AFCON qualifiers) come from Wikipedia and a community results dataset; those matches are labelled. Rarely, FIFA changes a result after the match (a forfeit, for example). The live rank can then differ slightly from the next official ranking.
