Belgium have endured a real rollercoaster at their 15th World Cup this summer but they remain in the tournament as we head into the final eight stage.
A 4-1 thumping of USA in the round of 16 will have undoubtedly increased belief within the Belgian camp, with Charles de Ketelaere scoring twice to eliminate the hosts.
It took a while for the Red Devils to get going, following draws against Iran and Egypt to start. However, Trossard and De Bruyne, in particular, lit up Vancouver in their final group match, firing Belgium to a 5-1 win against New Zealand — jumping top of Group G in the process.
It looked for all the world like they’d be heading home in the round of 32 as they trailed Senegal 2-0 with five minutes left before a remarkable comeback saw Rudi Garcia’s men emerge as 3-2 winners after extra-time.
Read on for Belgium’s outright, group, and stage of elimination odds, as well as a look at their squad, players to keep an eye on, and group information.

Belgium odds to win the World Cup
Punters could initially back Belgium at as long as 50/1 to win the World Cup for the first time in their history, which placed them approximately 11th in the outright odds table alongside Colombia, and some distance behind the favoured European trio of Spain, England, and France.
Unsurprisingly they still remain behind those three European neighbours, but after the win over the USA you can now get odds of around 25/1 with most bookmakers on Belgium to win the World Cup.
Belgium came closest in 2018, when they finished third. But they endured a torrid and toxic campaign four years ago in Qatar. The Red Devils bowed out in the group stages and scored just one goal as they finished third behind Morocco and Croatia. It was an almighty disappointment for their Golden Generation.
Belgium World Cup Top Goalscorer Odds
Romelu Lukaku got his 2026 campaign going with a goal late on against New Zealand, before following that up with the goal that kickstarted the comeback against Senegal. Despite another strike in the win over the USA, he’s still priced at 250/1 to be top goalscorer at the tournament thanks in no small part to the form of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane.
