DATA.BET Reviews Betting Activity During the FIFA World Cup 2026

Sportsbook solutions provider reveals key betting trends, player behaviour and market performance throughout football’s biggest tournament.

DATA.BET, a trusted sportsbook solution supplier, has released an in-depth analysis of betting activity during the FIFA World Cup 2026, one of the most attended football tournaments in history. The competition attracted a combined 6.8 million spectators across 104 matches hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

According to the report, pre-match betting accounted for 63% of total turnover, while live betting represented 37%, maintaining a remarkably stable share throughout the tournament regardless of the stage or participating teams.

Statistical betting markets also continued to gain traction, generating more than 11% of total betting turnover. Among them, Corners Total ranked as the most popular statistical market and entered the overall top ten markets by betting volume, behind traditional favourites such as 1×2 and Totals.

Bettors also made increasing use of the Bet Builder feature, combining markets such as corners, yellow cards and team totals with the Anytime Goalscorer market, driven by the consistent performances of stars including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane.

At the team level, France generated the highest betting volume, followed by Spain, Argentina, England and Belgium. Together, these five national teams accounted for 36.5% of the tournament’s total betting stake, highlighting their strong appeal among bettors.

Some of the biggest betting shifts, however, came from unexpected contenders. Cape Verde delivered one of the tournament’s biggest group-stage surprises, while Egypt, led by Mohamed Salah, pushed Argentina to the limit in the Round of 16, significantly increasing betting interest as their campaign progressed.

“The scale wasn’t just visible on the pitch—it showed in our numbers too. The combined betting turnover of the FIFA World Cup 2026 and the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major 2026 was split 58.5% to 41.5% in favour of the World Cup,” said Yevhenii Ilchenko, Head of Sports at DATA.BET.

Betting activity intensified throughout the knockout stages

The report also highlights how betting engagement increased as the tournament progressed.

Although the group stage generated 33% more bets due to the larger number of matches, it produced almost the same betting turnover and attracted nearly the same number of unique bettors as the knockout rounds, demonstrating that fewer high-profile matches generated significantly larger betting volumes.

Average bet size during the play-off stage was 28% higher than during the group stage, with betting activity reaching its highest levels during the semi-finals and final.

“What made this World Cup stand out wasn’t one number—it was how consistently engaged bettors remained throughout the entire six-week tournament until the final whistle,” concluded Yevhenii Ilchenko, Head of Sports at DATA.BET.
