This summer, 48 teams compete across 39 days for the most watched trophy on the planet: the FIFA World Cup. Billions of people will be watching. Here is the real question: what if you made this summer about your team of two? The Love Cup is a free 2-week couple challenge inside Nemlys: one week during the group stage, one week during the finals run, and a final day on July 19.
More Than a Match: Your Couple Tournament Challenge
There is something about a tournament that changes the energy in a home. Suddenly there is a reason to be on the couch at the same time, a shared reason to care, something to react to together. The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the biggest version of that feeling on the planet.

But every great team needs more than shared excitement. The couples who come out of this summer stronger are the ones who treated it as a team sport: showing up for each other, playing on the same side, and celebrating the small wins along the way.

That is what The Love Cup couple challenge is for. It runs on the same schedule as the real tournament and ends on the same final day: but instead of competing against each other, you are playing together. Two players. One goal. No trophy required.

The Love Cup is free inside Nemlys. Find it under Seasonal Events. Week 1 opens June 20.

Week 1: Kickoff (June 20 to 26)
Every tournament starts with a group stage: low stakes, but where the tone gets set. Week 1 of the Love Cup works the same way. Day one asks something light (the kind of question that makes you smile and then quietly makes you think). By day five, you are in more honest territory. Seven days, one question or couple activity per day, each of you answering on your own before sharing with each other.
The Halftime Break (June 27 to July 12)
Week 1 ends June 26. Week 2 does not open until July 13. Think of it as halftime: the real World Cup takes a breath between the group stage and the knockout rounds, and so does your couple challenge. Some of the best relationship conversations do not happen during the questions themselves; they surface a few days later, when something your partner said keeps coming back to you. Use that space.
Week 2: The Finals Run (July 13 to 19)
The knockout stage is where teams find out what they are really made of. Week 2 of the Love Cup works the same way: not harder, exactly, but more charged. This week moves into territory most couples circle around rather than land in: the things you have been avoiding, how you handle being wrong, and the future you are actually building together. Three of the seven days are couple activities (things to do together), not just questions.

Each week has a 7-day window: complete each day any time within it. Week 1 opens June 20. Week 2 opens July 13. Find The Love Cup under Seasonal Events inside Nemlys.

The Final: July 19
July 19. The same day as the real World Cup Final. The last day of Week 2: and the biggest question of the whole relationship challenge.

Beyond the history, the habits, the comfort: what is it that actually makes you choose your partner, every day?

Every team that reaches a final has earned it. By July 19, you will have warmed up, gone deeper, had the conversations that mattered, and said the thing you had been holding. That question lands differently when you have done the work to get there.

Here is how to get started:

  1. Download Nemlys (free on iOS and Android).
  2. Invite your partner: send them your invite code so you are both connected.
  3. Find The Love Cup under Seasonal Events. Week 1 opens June 20.
  4. Show up for the Final: July 19. That is the one date worth keeping.

There is no scoreboard. No pressure. What you get instead is a summer that actually meant something: two weeks of showing up for each other, celebrating together, and paying attention in a world that makes it easy not to.

The Love Cup is free inside Nemlys. Week 1 opens June 20. Week 2 opens July 13. The Final is July 19: same day as the real thing. Two weeks. 14 days. One goal: each other.
