How Spain got there
Spain won the 2026 title while conceding a single goal across the whole tournament, the first World Cup winner ever to do that. Rodri, Spain’s captain, won the Golden Ball and Unai Simón the Golden Glove. Argentina reached the final as defending champions, and for the first time the top four sides in the world ranking (Argentina, Spain, France and England) were the four semi-finalists. France’s Kylian Mbappé took the Golden Boot with 10 goals.

Why the odds board was removed
Before the tournament this page listed outright winner prices, Golden Boot prices, a bracket preview and sportsbook offers, compiled as an illustrative snapshot on 12–13 June 2026. Every one of those markets has now been settled and every offer has ended, so we have taken it down rather than keep old prices on a page people may read as current.
