2026 FIFA World Cup Winner odds

Qatar FIFA 2022 World Cup Odds Tracker

It’s been 20 years since we saw a non-European winner of the World Cup. That was back in 2002 in Japan and South Korea when Brazil, the World Cup’s most successful ever team, won the tournament for a record fifth time. While the Samba Boys haven’t enjoyed too much success since then, they are going into this year’s event with one of the strongest sides that they have been able to put together in decades that is literally packed with talent in all areas of the pitch.

Doubtless, that is why they have been installed as favourites to lift the trophy once again. However, everything could change between now and when the first ball is kicked. Luckily for you, you can follow which teams are fancied and which teams are not with this handy tracker that will show in real time what punters are thinking of each teams chances of success in Qatar.

England World Cup Odds

Following a disappointing UEFA Nations League campaign that saw them relegated to League B, England fans will hoping the Three Lions can bounce back with a strong showing at the World Cup. This, after all, is their first tournament outing since losing the Euro 2020 final to Italy at Wembley last year.

In all, it will be more than 56 years since England lifted their one and only World Cup which also came at Wembley. Things haven’t been going too well for Gareth Southgate’s boys going into Qatar, with players collectively and individually showing poor form and there are many questions that need to be asked and consequently answered. Will the boss find a place in the squad for Trent Alexander Arnold? Will there be a starting place for Harry Maguire? Should Southgate call up James Maddison at the last minute?

All of these questions prove that this is the most talented Three Lions squad in decades. If England can even consider leaving out such stellar talents then they really do have many quality options. And this from a team that reached the last four at the last World Cup four years ago.

England will go into the group stage as the clear favourites to win Group B. Iran, USA and a home nations clash with Wales shouldn’t, on paper at least, cause the Three Lions too much trouble before a likely second clash with one of The Netherlands, Senegal, Ecuador or Qatar suggests the last eight should be the minimum expectation. This is certainly reflected in the England World Cup odds and below we have highlighted some of the main England World Cup betting odds.

Popular FIFA World Cup Betting Markets

Of course, when it comes to placing a bet on the World Cup, punters aren’t just limited to betting on England. There will be a whole host of betting markets available to bet on and most of them will be open right now. By the time the tournament comes around, there will be betting markets for each of the 64 individual matches as well as group betting options too. But there will also be odds available for tournament long markets such as player and team performance. Below, we have outlined some of your FIFA World Cup betting 2026 options.

Best FIFA World Cup 2026 Betting Offers in the UK

Competition for your betting custom is as fierce as ever between long established bookmakers and the increasing amount of newly opening bookies. Because of this, bettors like you are able to take advantage of a wealth of promotions, bonuses and football betting offers that can greatly enhance your betting experience.

As we draw nearer to the 2026 World Cup of football, more and more bookies will be basing their offers around the World Cup in Qatar. Here is what you can expect to find when it comes to online World Cup betting.

Acca Boosts

With an acca boost, sites such as Kwiff will boost the odds of your accumulator. This is the whole purpose of Kwiff, who even call it kwiffing your bet, but other sites also do this. All you need to do is put your selection, or in the case of an acca selections, in your betting slip and hit the Kwiff button to see your odds boosted.

Acca Insurance

Although they can differ from site to site, acca insurance promotions usually give you money back as a free bet if one leg of your accumulator lets you down. This takes some of the frustration out of an acca near miss which can be very annoying. Betfred offer regular acca insurance promotions on the football and can be expected to do the same during the Qatar World Cup too.

Enhanced Odds

Enhanced odds, or price boosts, let you get a better price for your selection than has officially been billed. These can work in a number of different ways but will often come as a ready made offer for each of the day’s matches, all of which will be televised so you can watch your bet play out and even cash out if you need to. Other sites might let you boost your bet once you have put your pick into the betting slip through the use of a button. You should be able to find lots of great World Cup online betting offers at Live Score Bet.

FIFA World Cup 2026 Free Bets

There are a number of ways that bettors, both new and old, can earn free bets to use when betting for the World Cup. The first of these is the welcome offer free bet. This can be unlocked when a player signs up to a new betting account and follows the steps outlined in the offer. Usually this means making a deposit and placing a bet. Just make sure that you have read and understood the terms and conditions involved. There are going to be a lot of Qatar football World Cup 2022 welcome offers by the time the tournament rolls around.

Another way to earn free bet deals is to join a free bet club where you will need wager a certain amount to unlock a free bet. Also, as we have already discussed, acca insurance can reward existing customers with free bets when one leg of their acca ruins the bet. Betting on the World Cup at William Hill can be very rewarding so if you don’t already have an account here’s how you can get £30 in free bets when you wager only £10.

This is a very common way to unlock a welcome offer free bet and is one of the best promotions around. However, here are some other nice free bet promos that you might want to consider to use on your World Cup betting games.

• William Hill – Bet £10 and get £30 in Free Bets
• Betfred – Bet £10 and get £60 in Free Bets
• BetVictor – £10 Get £30 In Free Bets + 100 Free Spins

FIFA World Cup Live Streaming

Due to the size and prestige of the Football World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the event is classified as being one of the ‘Crown Jules’ of live sport. What this means is that it is protected so that it remains only available to be broadcast on terrestrial TV. As such, all of the 64 games will be shown live on the BBC and ITV with coverage shared equally between the two.

However, if you wish to see how players are performing prior to the event so that you know what kind of form they are in going into the 2022 World Cup as pointer to how they might perform out in the Gulf, then we recommend the following bookies when it comes live streaming the football.

Football World Cup 2026 Betting Tips

So, now you know what kind of types of bets you are able to place and have a sound knowledge of where you can place them. We have also taken you through all of the various offers and promotions that you can exploit on your bets on the World Cup. Now it is time to run you through some tips and pointers that can help to make your FIFA World Cup betting as profitable as possible. Before placing any World Cup bets, you should really consider the following advice.

Wait For The Squad Announcements

This doesn’t normally apply to betting on the FIFA World Cup, but because of the 2022 FIFA World Cup location, this year’s tournament will be played in the winter which has never been the case before. What this means is that the domestic football season for most leagues around the world will be put on hold temporarily while the players fly out to the Middle East to represent their nations at the World Cup.

For example, the Premier League’s final weekend of play for almost two months will take place on November 12^th and 13th, resuming on December 26th. The overwhelming majority of players taking part in this year’s World Cup will have completed close to 15 matches already without having much of a break which means that injuries are very possible. To this end, it would be wise to wait for the squad announcements before making your tournament predictions. Imagine placing a Golden Boot bet on Harry Kane to be the tournament’s highest goal scorer, only to see him get injured playing for Spurs, ruling him out of the tournament. As captain of his national team this would also have a negative impact on England at the World Cup so be patient.

Take A Look At Past World Cups

These days, World Cups are typically high goal scoring events which hasn’t always been the case. These tournaments are bigger than they used to be as well meaning that there are more games being played than in the past. However, there is a wealth of data that you can harvest online that can help you predict what could happen at the Qatar football World Cup 2022. For instance, we know that, in 2014 in Brazil, there were 171 goals scored at an average of 2.7 per game making it the highest scoring World Cup of all. This was nearly eclipsed four years later at the 2018 FIFA World Cup where there were 169 goals scored creating an average of almost 2.7. Stats like these can help make informed decisions when it come to World Cup betting.

Study A Team’s Form In Qualifying

Team form can be a very good indicator of what we might expect from a team once the World Cup gets underway. You will probably be fully up to speed on how well your own nation’s team did in qualifying or the recent UEFA Nation’s League. What you might not know though is how in or out of form other countries are. Take a look at how well the teams have been performing in recent months to maximise your chances of success.

Change Of Personnel

It is not often the case, because usually a manager or coach that qualified a team for a tourney stays in the job, but there are times when this doesn’t happen, and a new managerial team has been installed. This can have either a negative effect and unbalance team harmony or a positive effect and give the team a much needed lift before the big event. Make sure you know everything you can about the team or players that you are considering backing in a market.

Use That World Cup Wallchart

However well you think your team might do in the group stage, they might have a very hard second round match. For instance, if England win Group B but The Netherlands finish second in Group A then they will face off in the round of 16 stage. This is obviously a much harder tie for both teams so make sure you are fully aware of what team’s potential path might be.

Pay Attention To The Third Match In The Group Stages

When we get into the tournament itself, it is quite a regular occurrence that, by the third and final match of the group stage, some teams have already qualified for the next round and have nothing left to play for. They might even be guaranteed the top spot. What we often see in such cases is that coaches choose to rest their key players and give some much needed game time to some of the other members of the squad. Depending on the quality of the incoming players, teams can, and have, dropped points against teams that you wouldn’t expect them to. If you see this is about to happen, and you wait for the team news to be announced, you might be take advantage of some decent odds.

Look To The Live Betting Markets

Live betting, or betting in play, can offer up some opportunities for punters to make real time decisions based on what is happening on the pitch right there and then. The best thing about this is that bettors have a lot more information about the event after it has started then beforehand. This can really help with making a fully informed betting decision. One example of this is if a holding midfielder picks up an early yellow card and you think it wont be long before he gets another meaning that he gets himself sent off.
