World Cup 2026 outright winner odds

England are one of the favourites to win the World Cup in 2026, with the likes of Brazil, France, and reigning champions Argentina.

However, it's Spain who the bookies have as the current favourites to lift the trophy, with their exciting duo of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal hoping to drag their country to international glory in 2026, just as they did at Euro 2024. Luis de la Fuente's side were also tipped to win the 2025 UEFA Nations League, but lost the final in a surprising defeat to Portugal.

Despite not even knowing all the countries who will qualify for the prestigious competition, below are the odds for several nations to win the 2026 World Cup - with Scotland priced at 150/1 to win the tournament, in what is their first appearance at a World Cup since 1998.

England boss Thomas Tuchel's side are one of the favourites heading into the tournament according to Ladbrokes' 2026 World Cup outright winner odds, and with the goalscoring prowess of Harry Kane in front of youthful talent such as Jude Bellingham and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka, it isn't hard to see why.

Tuchel's recent contract extension also gives England a real boost before the tournament, with the acclaimed manager committing his future to the national side until 2028.

Meanwhile, reigning World Cup champions Argentina will again be confident of lifting the famous trophy, with Lionel Messi continuing to lead from the front and 2022's penalty shootout hero Emi Martinez in goal.

Looking across the border and into Brazil, the attacking options of the five-time winners will strike fear into any defence.

France, who have reached back-to-back finals, also boast a lethal forward line, with Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele. The two wingers both won the World Cup in 2018, and will be hoping to fire their country to glory once again.

The World Cup in 2026 has undergone some changes which have divided the footballing world, with 24 more games set to be played than at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The tournament next year will have 48 nations competing, rather than 32, with the top two from each of the 12 groups progressing to a new round of 32, along with eight of the best third-placed nations.

There had been discussions about having 16 groups of three, but FIFA opted to keep with the traditional groups of four - something that fans seem to be quite happy about.

However, the World Cup could see numerous games disrupted due to the extreme weather in America - something players and coaches noted as a problem during the FIFA Club World Cup.
