Check out all our tips for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup here, as we will have extensive coverage throughout the whole tournament. From Accumulators to Bet Builders, our tips are backed by in-depth research from our betting team.

Our 2026 World Cup tips page will be updated daily to bring you the best tips for what promises to be an excellent tournament.

The bets you will find on this page will be a selection of our different bet types you will see on the website, with particular focus shown on our bets which we think are the best value during this tournament.

Our betting team will be creating these tips focusing on:

• Accumulator Tips
• Win Treble Tips
• Bet of the Day
• Bet Builders
• Cross-Match Specials

These tips will be available for the start of every matchday round of the World Cup, ensuring that all the matches are covered for this tournament.

Accumulator Tips:

Accumulator tips are one of the more popular bets in the industry and for the World Cup we will have daily accas available, provided by our betting team. Each matchday there will be an accumulator on the website, with plenty of bookmakers available for the tip so you can get the best odds possible. The accumulators will be backed by research looking at team progress and form throughout the competition.

BuildaBet:

Bet Builders are an excellent way to place designated bets. The scheduled game times during the World Cup allows us to focus on designated evening fixtures and for the England games where there will be an extensive amount of markets to bet on. You can combine multiple markets into one bet for one single game, rather than having to worry on games elsewhere.

Our bet builders have become increasingly popular throughout the season and for the World Cup we will have at least a daily bet builder, provided by our betting team.

Outright Tips:

Throughout the tournament, the FootyAccumulators team will have outright tips and articles for the World Cup. On this page, you will find World Cup related content in our related content section, with news articles covering the tournament and our latest predictions which align with our betting tips you will see anywhere on the website.

For Outright Odds for the World Cup, our Outright Odds section on this page gives you odds on the available markets ahead of the World Cup:

• Winner Markets
• Goalscorer Markets

This will be updated throughout the competition as the World Cup progresses to the latter stages.

Our betting team takes into consideration the following aspects when choosing the bets:

• Team Form: Recent results detail overall confidence within squads and serve as a guiding light ahead of major fixtures. We are unlikely to choose a team that has lost their previous five matches and is possibly bottom of their group by matchday two, ahead of a team that has a 100% record in the tournament.
• Team Selection: Team selection will be pivotal during the World Cup, with managers looking to make extensive use of their options, especially given the proposed weather conditions this summer. There will be players who will be mainstays on the team, but any potential team rotation will be thoroughly reviewed before we post our bets.
• Heavy Favourites: The World Cup will have 48 teams in this tournament, so you will undoubtedly see teams face overwhelmingly strong teams along the way.
• Player Form: For player markets such as goalscorer bets whether that be a single or as part of a BuildaBet, we analyse the recent form of the player in the tournament and also previous tournament history. Kylian Mbappe for example has 12 goals in the World Cup across two tournaments, so he will be likely to included in our selections.

Who are the players to watch at the 2026 World Cup?

Lionel Messi will likely be playing in his final tournament at the World Cup and Argentina will no doubt be one of the favourites for the competition as the current holders.

France's hopes will rely on the attacking talent of Kylian Mbappé, who could end the competition as the all-time leading goalscorer if France goes far in the tournament. Alongside Mbappé, the trio of Ousmane Dembélé, Desire Doué and Bradley Barcola is expected to cause any team problems.

Norway's Erling Haaland will look to make an impact on the world stage. The Manchester City striker scored an incredible 16 goals in eight qualifying matches as Norway qualified with a 100% winning record.

Which teams are the dark horses of the 2026 World Cup?

Norway are likely to be one of the teams to watch in the World Cup, given how impressive they were in qualifying. The Lions were imperious in qualifying, beating four-time World Champions Italy by six points. Norway are expected to qualify from their group, which consists of Iraq, Senegal and France, with the latter being the final group game.

Who will win the 2026 World Cup?

France's squad depth is too difficult to ignore. The options in attack, combined with the depth in the defensive areas, with players like William Saliba (Arsenal), Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool), Jules Kounde (Barcelona) and Theo Hernandez (Al-Hilal), give France the edge over their competition. Les Bleus have also reached the last two World Cup finals, only narrowly losing to Argentina in Qatar.
