World Cup 2026 probabilities, visualized like a stock market
The World Cup 2026 Probability Heatmap is a live, finviz-style market-implied probability map of the FIFA World Cup. Every national team is a tile. Tile size shows the team's current implied probability of winning the tournament. Tile color shows how that probability changed versus the prior snapshot or initial baseline — green = probability rising, red = probability falling. Teams are grouped into the 12 official tournament groups (A–L).
Frequently asked questions
- Where do the probabilities come from?
- Market prices are converted into implied probabilities, averaged across available data sources, and normalized to sum to 100% so the market margin is removed.
- What does the color mean?
- Each tile is colored by the change in win probability versus the previous day's snapshot when available, or versus the initial baseline before a prior snapshot exists. Changes are measured in percentage points (pp). Full saturation is reached at ±3pp, the same scale finviz uses for its S&P 500 sector map.
- Who is the favorite to win the 2026 World Cup?
- The largest tile on the map is the current favorite. Because probabilities move every day, the answer changes — check the heatmap above for the live ranking and the day's biggest mover.
- How often does the heatmap update?
- The public heatmap reads cached snapshots. The paid upstream odds API is reserved for scheduled refreshes, up to four times daily, to protect usage credits.
- When and where is the 2026 World Cup?
- The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs June 11 – July 19, 2026, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with 48 teams competing in 12 groups (A–L).
