This market will resolve to “Yes” if the total number of matches that go to extra time during the 2026 FIFA World Cup equals or exceeds the listed number. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A match is counted if it proceeds to extra time (an additional 30 minutes of play), whether or not it is subsequently decided by a penalty shootout. If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is shortened, truncated, or ends early for any reason, the outcome shall be determined using available official data for completed matches. If the 2026 FIFA World Cup is cancelled, postponed after August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the exact total cannot be determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from FIFA; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.The 2026 FIFA World Cup features an expanded 48-team format with 16 knockout matches (round of 32 onward) where extra time applies if scores remain level after 90 minutes, followed by penalties if needed. Group stage results so far, including multiple draws and late goals in fixtures like Ghana-Panama and England openers, have no bearing on extra time totals. New FIFA rules targeting time-wasting through faster substitutions and restarts may shorten matches overall but leave knockout dynamics unchanged. Historical World Cup data shows roughly one-quarter of knockout ties reach extra time, with trader consensus reflecting the larger field size, competitive balance among underdogs, and typical late drama in single-elimination rounds.
