The 2026 World Cup will take place in North America, with Canada, Mexico, and the United States hosting the 23rd FIFA World Cup.

For the first time in tournament history, the field will expand from 32 teams to 48 teams, much like how the FIFA Club World Cup has expanded for 2025.

Argentina, the defending World Cup champion, is listed at +800 odds (Bet $100 to win $950) to repeat the feat at bet365 sportsbook.

The opening betting favorite is France, which was the runner-up to Argentina in the 2022 World Cup and also the 2018 World Cup champion.
