FIFA World Cup 2026 Betting at Sportsbet.io
When you thought your 2026 FIFA World Cup experience couldn’t get any better, Sportsbet.io is here to give you an exciting chance to make the most of your wagers. Get the best rewards in football betting by placing outright winner bets on the biggest tournament in world football.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July 2026. This will be the first time the tournament features 48 teams and three host nations — giving fans more matches, goals, and chances to win with outright betting at Sportsbet.io.
2026 FIFA World Cup Outright bets to try
Outright betting is where you go beyond the thrill of a single match and take on the challenge of predicting the bigger picture, the outcome of the entire tournament. Unlike standard match betting, which focuses only on the result of one game, outright wagers let you follow a storyline that unfolds over weeks, from the first kick-off to the final whistle.
At Sportsbet.io, you’ll find a variety of outright markets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the most popular include:
Winner
The most iconic bet of them all. Pick the nation you believe will lift the trophy in July. This is a long-term wager, meaning your excitement builds with each stage of the tournament as your chosen team advances. Whether you back the favourites like Brazil and France or go for an underdog with high odds, this market keeps you invested until the end.
Group Stage winners
Perfect for fans who enjoy early-tournament action. Predict which nation will top each of the twelve groups during the opening stage. This market rewards knowledge of team form, squad depth, and the strength of their group opponents. A strong start here can set the tone for the rest of the competition — and your potential winnings.
To Reach Final
For those who enjoy predicting epic match-ups, this market lets you forecast the two teams that will battle for glory in the final match. It’s a great option if you believe a team will go far but aren’t ready to commit to them winning the title outright.
Every goal scored, upset pulled off, and surprise breakout performance could impact your bet, making the entire tournament a gripping ride from start to finish.
Which 2026 FIFA World Cup teams have the best betting odds?
The early favourites, based on recent outright odds, feature some of football’s most decorated and talented nations:
Brazil – The most successful team in World Cup history with five titles. Known for their attacking flair and world-class talent pool, Brazil remains a perennial contender in every tournament.
France – The 2018 champions and 2022 runners-up boast a squad stacked with both experience and rising stars, making them one of the safest bets in the competition.
Argentina – With their 2022 triumph and a new generation of attacking talent, Argentina keeps itself in the conversation for back-to-back titles.
England – With a young core and a series of deep tournament runs in recent years, England is tipped to finally break their 59-year wait for a second World Cup.
Spain – Champions in 2010 and currently enjoying a resurgence built on possession football and an emerging golden generation.
Germany – Despite recent struggles, their four World Cup titles and runners-up mean you can never count them out.
While these six teams top the odds boards thanks to their rich histories and current form, there’s still room for surprises. Teams like the Netherlands can deliver massive payouts if they defy expectations, as they have reached the final three times and have never won the title. With the expanded 48-team format in 2026, the path to the knockout stages is more open than ever, meaning an underdog run isn’t out of the question.

FIFA World Cup 2026 betting tips
