The Rein of Spain

LATEST UPDATE: When the 48-team 2026 tournament began, Spain and France were +450 co-favorites in World Cup odds. Stunningly, though, Spain got only a 0-0 draw in its opener vs. Cape Verde on June 15.

France took over as the solo favorite since, getting into -150 before the semifinals. But in the opening semi, Spain shut down Kylian Mbappe & Co. in a 2-0 victory.

So Spain moved to the -165 favorite and made it stand up with a 1-0 victory over Argentina in the championshp match. The Spain victory wrapped up a tournament that proved good to bettors on some fronts and outstanding to sportsbooks on others.

"Spain winning the World Cup was a great result for bettors," BetMGM trading manager Christian Cipollini said. "La Roja was the most-bet team to lift the trophy before the tournament began, with continued action through the stages.

"The 2026 World Cup was record-breaking at BetMGM on many fronts, including the Spain-Argentina final being the most-bet soccer match in company history."

And it was most-bet by both ticket count and total money wagered.

Shortly after the final, BetMGM posted its 2030 World Cup odds, leading off with Spain at +400. France and Portugal followed as the +600 co-second choice, then four more squads bunched up at the top:

  • England +700
  • Brazil +900
  • Argentina +900
  • Germany +1200

Even though Team USA made it to the Round of 16 in 2026, BetMGM's risk room wasn't inclined to rate USA too high as it compiled 2030 World Cup futures odds. The U.S. opened at +6600, the co-18th choice.

Check back for updates, though those will be few and far between until 2030 draws closer.

World Cup Qualification

The 2030 World Cup qualification process begins in September 2027. However, it's not yet sealed that it will again be a 48-team tournament. The 2026 event was the first to feature 48 teams, moving up from 36, and FIFA is reportedly considering an increase to 64 teams.

Six confederations hold qualifying contests. Below is a list of leagues and the available slots each has to put a nation in the World Cup tournament, presuming the current 48-team format remains.

  • AFC (Asia): 8
  • CAF (Africa): 9
  • CONCACAF (North/Central America & Caribbean): 6
  • CONMEBOL (South America): 6
  • OFC (Oceania): 1

Two more teams will be decided via a playoff.

Brazil has won five World Cups, more than any other nation. Germany, however, has been to eight finals, more than any other country.
