So, that’s the 2022 World Cup over, but what’s the 2026 World Cup outright betting looking like?
Whether you loved or hated the Qatar version, it was Argentina that overcame their shock first match loss against Saudi Arabia to beat France in an epic 2022 World Cup Final – a match that all football fans will remember for a long time!
However, with Messi unlikely to be involved in 3 1/2 years’ time, what price are the South American side to defend their title in 2026, with the World Cup bandwagon heading to USA, Canada and Mexico in a three-way joint hosting operation?

What Odds Are Argentina To Win World Cup 2026?
Argentina and Lionel Messi beat France in a dramatic 2022 World Cup Final that will live long in the memory of all football fans, but what price are they to follow-up at World Cup 2026?
The last back-to-back World Cup winners were Brazil in 1958-62 and even though France came close to defending their title in 2022 we’ve still only had two nations win the World Cup twice in a row.
Argentina, who are likely to be without their talisman Lionel Messi for the 2026 World Cup, the bookmakers are pricing them up @ 10/1 with bet365 to successfully defend their title.

England’s World Cup 2026 Betting Odds
England threatened to go well at the 2022 World Cup after impressing with big wins over Iran, Senegal and Wales, but they came up short in the Quarter-finals when losing to France.
However, with a decent young crop of promising players and the news boss Gareth Southgate will be staying on, the bookmakers are keeping the faith ahead of the 2026 World Cup and make the Three Lions @ 7/1 to win, which is generally the third favourites berth with most firms.
World Cup 2026 Betting Odds: Best of The Rest
Just behind France, Brazil, England and Argentina in the 2026 World Cup betting market are Spain @ 9/1 and then the four-time winners Germany @ 10/1 – two more teams that were well-fancied for the 2022 World Cup but came up well short.
Portugal, who won’t have Cristiano Ronaldo for the 2026 World Cup are @ 14/1 with Bet365, while the Netherlands are @ 16/1 – two sides that are still hunting out their first World Cup win.
The current European Champions Italy, who failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, will be hoping to bounce back and be involved at the 2026 tournament – they are @ 20/1 win follow-up their 1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006 World Cup wins.
What Price are the Three 2026 World Cup Hosts?
The 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico in what promises to be a cracking event. All three nations will qualify for the event automatically as a result too.
Of the three, USA, who made it to the last 16 at the 2022 World Cup, are likely to have the best chance and this is reflected in the 2026 World Cup outright betting @ 25/1 with Bet365, with Mexico next best @ 50/1 and Canada on offer @ 80/1 to cause the biggest World Cup shock of all time.
