These are live 2026 FIFA World Cup winner odds from the prediction market, shown as the implied probability that each team lifts the trophy. France leads the market, with Spain, England and Argentina behind. The table updates in real time.
How to read these odds
Each percentage is the market's implied probability that the team wins the World Cup. A team at 39% means traders, in aggregate, price its chance of winning at about 39 percent. The numbers move as money comes in on each side, so a favorite can shift quickly during a tournament. Unlike a bookmaker line, these prices come from people buying and selling shares against each other, so they update the moment sentiment changes.
The percentages across all teams add up to more than 100 percent because each team's YES price includes a small margin and the field is not perfectly efficient. Read each number on its own as that team's implied chance, not as an exact share of a clean 100.
Where these odds come from
These figures are pulled live from the World Cup winner market on Polymarket, the largest crypto prediction market. Because the market runs on-chain, the prices are public and update continuously as trades go through. That is different from a static odds page, where numbers can be hours or days old. Here you are looking at what the market thinks right now.
