If you thought the World Cup was the biggest spectacle of the summer, you're sadly mistaken! The T3 Tech Cup is also underway, pitting 48 of the best tech products against one another to determine the ultimate winner.
Every day, we'll be battling it out between all sorts of product categories. Each of our head-to-heads will marry up with the live action on the pitch, so you can follow along with both at once.
To determine the winner, the result of each game will be decided by you, the readers. Below you'll see two polls to vote for your choice on today's games. You have until midnight (BST) to choose. The results will then be added to our table for the group stages and then form the progression into the knockout stages.
Once the group stages are complete, we will move to a round of 32 and then the final 16 before the quarter and semi-finals in July. The overall winner will be chosen in a final showdown on 19 July 2026.
LG G5 OLED vs Netflix
Now here's an interesting battle! Which will you pick – the TV, or the service you watch on it?
The LG topped its group emphatically, brushing aside some pretty hefty competition in the process. But don't rule Netflix out – it's a big name and a worthy competitor for just about anything in the contest.
Our verdict: Too close to call!
Shark Matrix Plus vs Antigravity A1
Shark topped one of the most competitive groups in the whole competition, which deserves a lot of praise.
Still, the Antigravity A1 is no joke. It has consistently been one of the most voted-for products in the whole contest, often winning by large margins.
Our verdict: I think the Antigravity will take the win here.
How the T3 Tech Cup works
The T3 Tech Cup is based on the same format as the football World Cup taking place this summer. Here, instead of 48 nations from around the world, we've selected 48 of the top tech products from across the various industries T3 covers.
The format will follow the football exactly, meaning every time there's a game on TV, there's also a poll to vote on! We'll be keeping points tallies for the group stage to pick out the winners, runners-up and highest third-place finishers, which then feeds into the knockout rounds.
With the first round of fixtures almost at an end, there's a lot of action happening across the board. The groups (as of 29 June) are as follows:
