The 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the United States will be played across 16 host cities and will be another thrilling major tournament.

England fans are desperate to see their men’s side win the first major tournament since 1966 having gone so close in recent years under Gareth Southgate. But now with Thomas Tuchel confirmed as his replacement the Three Lions are right up there in the betting to win in 2026.

England crashed out of the 2022 Qatar World Cup in the quarter finals against France, losing 2-1.

England had the most chances in that game but could only come up with one goal thanks to Harry Kane’s penalty in the 54th minute.

Of course France went on to the final and put in a great effort to nearly see off Argentina, who eventually went on to win on penalties.

England then stepped into the 2024 European Championships eager to settle some scores.

They were among the favourites with to win that tournament for the whole summer, until stepping up against Spain in the final who also won 2-1 over England in similar fashion.

The Three Lions conceded first, before they got an equaliser but the opposition managed to find the winner, this time in the 86th minute.

France and Spain lead the betting to win the World Cup in the North American countries, with the reigning champions Argentina out to 8/1.

With two more years to go until the tournament the squads can change dramatically but the key for England’s hopes relies on their young talented squad progressing further and cementing their top-class roles.

England’s once young squad will have much more experience and develop their talents, players like Jude Bellingham will be 23, Bukayo Saka just 25, Cole Palmer 24, Phil Foden 26, Kobbie Mainoo 22, and Declan Rice 27 to name a few.

These odds are fresh from England’s managerial changes, with Tuchel just announced as Southgate’s replacement.

The former Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager has seen plenty of success as a club manager and has top talent once again at his disposal as England boss.

Spain and France also have a younger talented squad with a few players just like England’s, that may not see this World Cup.

The odds reflect their potential with the likes of Yamine Lamal who will turn 19-years-old during the World Cup in 2026.

At which point he will have four full seasons under his belt for Barcelona and be the world-class player that he’s set to be after impressing in the 2024 European Championships.
