France’s price to win the 2026 World Cup has shortened yet again and they’re now clear favourites to lift the trophy.
Expectations are high and the pressure is on, but despite a poor first half in their opener against Senegal, they sent out a real statement in the second half by sealing a 3-1 win in their opening game.
That was followed up by another dominant if rain-affected win over Iraq, and Les Bleus finished top of their group thanks to victory against Norway.
In their first knock-out match they beat Sweden very comfortably by a 3-0 scoreline, meaning France’s odds to win the World Cup have now shortened to 2/1.

France odds to win the World Cup
France’s odds have shortened to 2/1 with the majority of bookmakers to lift the 2026 World Cup, following their four wins so far. This makes them outright favourites to be crowned champions.
Les Bleus have reached the last two World Cup finals, winning the tournament in 2018 before suffering a penalty shootout defeat to Argentina in 2022. France could become only the third country to reach three consecutive finals, while victory would secure a third World Cup title.
France World Cup top goalscorer odds
Kylian Mbappe has scored six goals at the World Cup so far and is now the outright favourite once again to finish as the top goalscorer this summer.
Lionel Messi at 8/5 has managed an incredible five goals from his first two games – but if France go a game or two further in the competition than Argentina, you’d expect Mbappe to pull even further clear. Interestingly, Erling Haaland is also on five goals so far, but he’s out at 22/1 while Mbappe is now available at 1/1.
There are a handful of other players in the running, including Les Bleus’ two goalscorers so far in Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembele. Realistically, if a France player scoops the Golden Boot, it’s going to be Mbappe.
