World Cup 2026 outright winner odds

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 - who will be hunting another Golden Boot - 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, with the likes of Vinicius Jr and Raphinha bringing serious quality.

Spain, who have reached back-to-back finals, also boast a lethal forward line, with Lamine Yamal the standout of numerous high-profile names. The Euro 2024 champions will be looking to stamp their mark on the global stage - just like their predecessors did from 2008 to 2012.

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.
