Terminal Eleven – terminal user interface for following the FIFA World Cup 2026

Terminal Eleven is a terminal user interface for following the FIFA World Cup 2026 from the command line.

It’s built for people who want match information without leaving their shell, combining group tables, fixtures, live scores, match details, event alerts, and retro-style sound cues in a keyboard-driven interface. The app uses static group-stage data for offline browsing and polls live match data for score updates during games.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Browse all twelve World Cup groups in a responsive terminal grid.
• View every group-stage fixture with kickoff times converted to your local timezone.
• Follow live matches with scorelines, current minute, goals, cards, and match statistics.
• Receive audio cues and desktop notifications for goals, half-time, and full-time.
• Four screens, all keyboard-driven, all dark-theme.
  • Groups. All twelve groups in a responsive grid. Click any team to open its profile — captain, coach, nickname, confederation, best-ever World Cup finish, and how it did in Qatar 2022.
  • Fixtures. Every group-stage match grouped by date, with kickoff times converted to your local timezone. So you can tell at a glance whether Brazil v Morocco lands in your evening or your 3 AM.
  • Live Score. Today’s matches in a table. Pick one with Enter.
  • Match Detail. Big block-font scoreline, current minute, goal scorers under each team, yellow and red cards, and a live stats grid (possession, shots, shots on target, passes, pass accuracy, fouls, corners). Polled from ESPN every 60 seconds and patched in place — no flicker, no full redraw.
• Install from PyPI and run on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
