As the 2026 World Cup approaches, Spain is positioned as the favorite to win, with odds of +450, which translates to an 18.18% chance of victory. The tournament, set to take place across North America, will feature 48 teams, with only 32 advancing to the knockout stage. Spain, which won its first and only World Cup in 2010, has had mixed results in recent tournaments, failing to progress beyond the Group Stage in 2014 and losing in the Round of 16 in 2018 and 2022. Despite these setbacks, Spain has claimed two European Championship titles in 2012 and 2024, along with the 2023 Nations League. France is a close second in the odds at +470, having won the World Cup in 2018 and finishing as runners-up in 2022. Spain's first match in the tournament will be against Cabo Verde on June 15, while France will take on Senegal on June 16.
