Following their victory in the 2026 World Cup, Spain has been installed as the betting favorite to repeat as champions in the 2030 tournament. DraftKings Sportsbook lists Spain at +450 odds, a slightly shorter price than they held before winning the most recent title.

Semifinalists France and England are next on the odds board at +600 and +900, respectively, with co-host Portugal also at +900. Argentina, the 2026 runner-up, is tied for sixth with 11-1 odds, while co-host Morocco is listed at 35-1. The United States and Mexico are 80-1 outsiders.

Spain became the fourth pre-tournament favorite to win the World Cup, joining West Germany (1974), Brazil (1994), and Spain again in 2010. The 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina was a record-breaking event for betting, with Caesars Sportsbook reporting a 65% increase in handle compared to their previous most-bet soccer match. "This record-breaking final capped off a fantastic tournament," said Caesars head of soccer Mark Bickerdike.
