How this forecast works: Our model combines team-strength scores derived from bookmaker tournament-winner odds (for top-16 favourites) with FIFA April 2026 rankings (for all 48 teams), applied through an Elo-style logit formula with a small home-advantage bonus for host nations USA, Mexico, and Canada. Knockout matches use the same model without home-bonus (neutral venues) and force a winner (no draws, penalties decide).

Throughout the tournament this forecast was regenerated daily, folding in the real results and the latest market odds and rebuilding the bracket around them, so the projection sharpened round by round. The tournament is now complete and the bracket above shows the final record of all 104 matches.

Title Probabilities: 40,000 Simulations

Alongside the bracket above, we simulated the remaining tournament 40,000 times to estimate how often each team would reach each stage. The table below is our final simulation, run on 16 July 2026, before the semi-finals were decided. Spain went on to win the trophy.

Our model played out the entire tournament 40,000 times, full group stage plus the complete knockout bracket, to estimate how often each team reaches each stage. The Market column shows the bookmaker's implied title probability for comparison (it includes the bookmaker margin, so it sums to more than 100%).
