England World Cup 2026 Betting Tips Tip 1: England to reach World Cup final - 3/1 Ladbrokes Tip 2: Harry Kane to win World Cup Golden Boot - 7/1 Bet365 The 2026 World Cup is almost here as a record 48 teams battle out to lift the biggest prize in football across 16 cities in the USA, Canada and Mexico this summer. As always, hopes are high for the England team ahead of the tournament, with Thomas Tuchel ’s men heading out to North America among the favourites to lift the trophy. England World Cup betting will be extremely popular this summer and betting sites are offering odds as low at 7/1 for the Three Lions to win a second World Cup in July, with only Spain and France regarded as better-placed to win.

Tuchel has now announced the 26-man squad he will take to North America, and while headlines will be dominated by some notable absentees for now, attention will soon turn to whether or not the Three Lions can back up their tag as one of the favourites with some dominant performances in Dallas, Boston and New York across the group stages. England kick off their campaign against Croatia on 17 June before facing Ghana on 23 June and then finishing the group stages with a game against Panama on 27 June. It’s a group that the Three Lions are widely expected to win, though it could set up some mouth-watering ties in later rounds, with Harry Kane and co.

potentially having to beat all of Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Spain to lift the trophy for a second time. England World Cup betting tip: To reach final - 3/1 Ladbrokes Expectations are high as the Three Lions head to North America and while opinions will differ on what constitutes a ‘successful’ tournament, England would be disappointed with anything less than a semi-final berth this summer. The Three Lions fell to Spain in the final of Euro 2024 two years ago but that means this is now an England side that has reached two major finals in the past six years, even if the quarter-final exit to France in 2022 made for a disappointing campaign in Qatar.

A wealth of experienced combined with an undoubtedly talented squad and the promise of Tuchel’s tactical expertise and previous cup success means that this is the most exciting England have looked in years, and football bookmakers have responded accordingly, labelling the Three Lions among the favourites to win the World Cup. Nevertheless, the abundant outside factors mean that betting on England’s campaign is extremely difficult, even if we can plot a rough path to the final. If the Three Lions finish top of Group L then the draw could open up for them in some ways.
