As the 2026 World Cup enters its quarterfinal stage, France has emerged as the dominant favorite to win the tournament, according to betting odds. France is listed at +187 on bet365, positioning them as the team to beat.
Potential semi-final opponents Spain and Argentina are considered the next strongest contenders. Spain holds odds of +380 on Caesars Sportsbook, noted as potentially offering good value due to their strong defense.

Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, is third in line with odds of +400 to win the tournament. They are projected to meet England, captained by Harry Kane, in a semi-final matchup, where Argentina would be favored.
England's odds stand at +500. Other teams in the quarterfinal round include Norway at 16/1, Morocco at 28/1, and Belgium and Switzerland, both at over 30/1.
France is set to begin the quarterfinals by facing Morocco, entering that match as -170 favorites on the three-way moneyline.
