2026 World Cup Predictions

World Cup predictor: 2026 predictions & odds

Our World Cup predictor shows which teams are most likely to win matches and progress through the tournament—powered by data, not opinion.

World Cup 2026 expands to 48 teams across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, introducing more matches, more scenarios, and more uncertainty than ever before. With added complexity, it becomes harder to separate real edges from popular narratives—making a probability-driven approach more important.

We model the likelihood of every outcome, helping you quickly see who is most likely to win in 90 minutes and how each team's path through the tournament shapes up. We build our projections on methods refined across major competitions, including the 2022 World Cup, Euro 2024, and Copa América 2024.

Alongside these probabilities, we include the best available sportsbook odds to highlight where the market may be overvaluing or undervaluing teams. By focusing on likelihoods and pricing, the predictor helps you identify potential value and understand how the tournament is most likely to unfold—without relying on hype.
