Polymarket Shows Europe Leading World Cup Winner Continent Market Ahead of June 12 Opener

Polymarket data showed Europe leading a market on which continent will produce the 2026 World Cup champion, with a 72% probability ahead of the tournament’s June 12 opening match. According to Odaily, South America was second at 22%, while Africa, Asia, and North America were each at 3%. The market’s rules define the outcome by the continent of the country that wins the 2026 World Cup. For example, if France wins, the result would be counted as Europe. If the 2026 World Cup is canceled, postponed beyond December 31, 2026, or if no official champion is determined by December 31, 2026, the outcome would be classified as “Other.” The final determination of a country’s continent would be based on information listed by World Population Review.
