This is a market on which teams will qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. If at any point it becomes impossible for this team to qualify for the FIFA World Cup based on the rules of FIFA (e.g. they cannot reach the required number of points to advance from its group or qualify for playoffs), this market will resolve immediately to “No”. If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is permanently canceled or the qualifying stage has not been completed by September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be FIFA. (https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup).With qualification for the expanded 48-team FIFA World Cup 2026 complete as of March 31 inter-confederation play-off finals, all spots are filled following intense late-stage action across confederations. DR Congo clinched theirs via a 1-0 win over Jamaica in Path A final, while Iraq overcame Bolivia 2-1 in Path B, joining UEFA play-off victors Bosnia and Herzegovina (past Italy on penalties), Sweden (3-2 vs Poland), Türkiye (1-0 vs Kosovo), and Czechia (past Denmark on penalties). First-timers Jordan, Cape Verde, Curaçao, and Uzbekistan headline debuts, alongside returns like Norway (28 years) and Scotland (first since 1998), setting a diverse field with hosts USA, Canada, Mexico, plus giants Argentina, Brazil, France, and Spain ahead of the final draw.
