France has emerged as the solo favorite to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with odds shortening to +195 following a 3-0 victory over Sweden. According to FanDuel Sportsbook data from June 30, the French national team moved from +250 to +195 after their Round of 32 win, marking the best odds any team has been since the initial title odds were released.
The shift in betting markets follows a series of dominant performances by “Les Bleus,” including a 3-1 win against Senegal and a 3-0 victory over Iraq. France also secured Group I with a 4-1 win over Norway. The team is scheduled to face Paraguay in the Round of 16 on July 4.
While France leads the board, other teams have seen significant movement. Norway’s odds improved from +4000 to +2500 after a 2-1 win over the Ivory Coast, while Morocco surged from +4000 to +2200 following a penalty shootout victory against the Netherlands.
How did the latest results shift the 2026 World Cup odds?
The current betting landscape reflects a volatile knockout stage where underdog victories are forcing bookmakers to adjust. France’s consistency has made them the clear frontrunner, but the rise of Norway and Morocco indicates a shift in perceived value for European and African contenders.
Norway’s climb to +2500 comes on the heels of their victory over the Ivory Coast. This result sets up a Round of 16 clash against Brazil. Morocco’s jump to +2200 followed a dramatic match against the Netherlands. After trailing 1-0 late in the second half, Morocco equalized via a stoppage-time header from Issa Diop, eventually winning the match in a penalty shootout.
The following table outlines the top contenders based on FanDuel Sportsbook odds as of June 30:
| Team | Odds | Payout on $10 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| France | +195 | $29.50 |
| Argentina | +430 | $53 |

What was the biggest upset in the tournament so far?
The most significant disruption to the oddsboard occurred when Paraguay defeated Germany to advance to the Round of 16. Germany entered the match as a -700 favorite, having won Group E and holding a world ranking of 10th. Paraguay, ranked 41st in the world, had finished third in Group D and suffered a 4-1 loss to the United States earlier in the tournament.
Paraguay took a 1-0 lead and maintained it through regulation and extra time. The match was decided by a penalty shootout, which Paraguay won 4-3. This result is historically notable as Germany had previously never lost a penalty shootout in World Cup history, holding a 4-0 record in such contests prior to this match.
Who faces whom in the upcoming Round of 16?
The bracket for the next stage is now taking shape following the conclusion of the Round of 32. Several high-profile matchups have been confirmed based on recent results:
- France vs. Paraguay: Scheduled for July 4, pitting the current favorites against the team that eliminated Germany.
- Norway vs. Brazil: A matchup that follows Norway’s surge in the oddsboard.
- Morocco vs. Canada: Following Morocco’s penalty win over the Netherlands.
The disparity in odds remains wide for other nations. The United States is currently listed at +4000, while Mexico sits at +4500. Belgium is positioned at +5000, and Switzerland at +7000. The longest odds on the board belong to Canada at +15000, despite their upcoming match against Morocco.
France’s current trajectory is supported by their scoring efficiency, having scored three goals in its recent win against Sweden and its win over Iraq. This offensive output has solidified their status as the solo favorite as the tournament moves into the deeper knockout rounds.
The next major checkpoint for the tournament’s favorites will be the Round of 16 matches, starting with the France vs. Paraguay clash on July 4.
