The Simpsons has long been known for seemingly predicting future events in its episodes, from technological advances to political changes.
The latest theory that is attracting a lot of attention from fans is about the 2026 World Cup.
A video posted on TikTok shows clips reminiscent of episodes where the Simpson family gathers around the TV to watch the World Cup final. In these animated sequences, Homer and the rest of the family cheer as they watch the dramatic upheavals on the pitch, where favored teams like Brazil, Argentina and France are eliminated earlier than the pundits expected. The whole situation in the video acts as a surprise for the characters, especially when the outsider appears in the finale and ends up winning the trophy.
Many netizens have interpreted this video as another “prophecy” of the cartoon series, wondering if there will really be a surprise at the upcoming championship, which will, in reality, be held in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada.
Although it’s a fun montage and fan imagination, the myth of The Simpsons’ “clairvoyance” lives on, fueling discussions among sports fans who eagerly await whether this animated prediction will at least partially come true on the real turf.
