2026 World Cup Odds: Japan Surges After Opener

Updated Jun. 15, 2026 12:01 a.m. ET

The biggest sporting event North America has ever hosted is in full swing, and two of the co-hosts, Mexico and the United States, are off to a dream start. 

On Sunday, the Netherlands and Japan met in a 2026 FIFA World Cup thriller that featured four second-half goals. 

After three goals in a span of 13 minutes and seven seconds, the Oranje led 2-1 and looked like they were going to escape their Group F opener with three points. 

Then, Japan's dramatic 88th minute goal leveled the score and forced a huge draw against the group favorites. 

Daichi Kamada's equalizer was the latest goal in Japan's history at the World Cup.

As a result of the draw, Japan's odds to win the World Cup jumped from +5000 to +4500. Meanwhile, the Netherlands dropped from +1700 to +1900 after its disappointing result. 

Let's dive into the full odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, as of June 14.

Here's what to know about this oddsboard: 

The Favorites: Spain and France are tied atop the oddsboard. The Spanish will play their opener on Monday against Cape Verde, and France will open Tuesday against Senegal. Spain has appeared in 16 previous World Cups and won the tournament once, lifting the trophy in 2010. It also won the 2024 Euros. Similarly, France has made 16 previous World Cup appearances. It won the title twice, in 1998 and 2018.

Biggest Risers: Could the USA and Mexico have gotten off to better starts? The U.S. took a 3-0 lead over Paraguay in the first half before cruising to a 4-1 win, while Mexico opened up the tournament with a 2-0 win over South Africa. Leading the way for the United States was Falorin Balogun, who scored twice. However, Mauricio Pochettino took USA star Christian Pulisic out at halftime due to calf tightness. The host nations have been two of the biggest risers up the oddsboard during the first week of the tournament.
