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).Qualification for the expanded 48-team 2026 FIFA World Cup wrapped up March 31 with UEFA playoff finals and inter-confederation play-offs filling the last six spots, as Bosnia and Herzegovina stunned Italy 4-1 on penalties for a dramatic return, Sweden edged Poland 3-2 on Viktor Gyökeres' hat-trick, Czechia outlasted Denmark 3-1 on penalties, and Türkiye beat Kosovo 1-0. DR Congo advanced past Jamaica 1-0 after extra time for their first appearance since 1974, while Iraq defeated Bolivia 2-1 to join AFC qualifiers like Australia and Japan. Hosts USA, Canada, and Mexico were locked in early, alongside powerhouses Argentina, Brazil, France, and England; traders now eye group draw implications amid upsets eliminating Italy, Nigeria, and Wales.
