With the largest World Cup field in the history of the tournament, 32 of the 48 teams will be fighting for a spot in the knockout stage.
With that, 66.6% of nations will advance out of the group stage this summer, which is a massive upgrade from 50% in past World Cups. Because of this, sportsbooks have adjusted with less favorable odds.
Prior to the start of the tournament, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, England and Germany entered with the strongest odds to advance from the group stage, supported by recent major-tournament success and talent-rich rosters.
The Spaniards are the defending European Champions, while the Argentinians are looking to win back-to-back titles. And then, of course, there’s Brazil, which has more titles than any country with five.
Let’s dive into the odds for each team to advance to the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of June 27.
