- England to win the 2026 World Cup - 7/1 with William Hill
The disappointment of last night for England fans may well live in the minds for some time, but it’s also time to look forward, and for international football, that is forward to 2026.
We don’t know who will be in charge of England then, and whether a small number of the current squad will have moved on. But the vast majority should stay, and should once again be able to compete for honours.
One of the leading betting sites, William Hill have priced England up at 7/1 to win the 2026 World Cup, putting them alongside Spain in the betting, but behind France and Brazil, who are the joint favourites at 6/1.
England World Cup Odds: 7/1 for 2026 Tournament
With the rest of the world involved, winning the World Cup is much tougher than winning the Euros, and the betting for 2026 is wide open.
England are 7/1 to win the 2026 World Cup with William Hill, which means they are joint second favourites, alongside Spain, the team who beat them in the Euro 2024 final last night, a price replicated by many football betting sites.
Ahead of them in the betting are France, who lost to Spain in the Euro 2024 semi finals, and Brazil, who have just disappointed in the Copa America.
The current generation of England players have been working on many tournaments now, and they are not done yet, with plenty more exciting young players coming through the ranks.
The World Cup of 2026 will again be a time when fans expect a big push.
Same Core of Players Ready to Go Again
The good news for England, and whoever is in charge in 2026, is that once again, many of the same core group of players will be available and ready to go again.
Question marks will hang over Harry Kane and Kyle Walker, with both leaving holes, although both haven’t had particularly strong tournaments this time around, especially Kane.
But there is plenty of hope, a squad that has suffered a final loss at least once, twice for some of them, and one hungry to put things right.
