In just over six months’ time, Scotland will walk out at their first World Cup in almost three decades after securing qualification for the tournament in dramatic fashion with a 4-2 victory over Denmark in November.
With the draw just hours from being made, tournament big hitters Spain, England, and France will discover who they will face in the tournament, which is scheduled to be played over three host countries - USA, Mexico, and Canada. Could Scotland make the knockout stages for the first time in history? Will this World Cup be the year of the underdog? Which nation will be lifting the trophy aloft come July 2026?
Argentina enters the tournament as defending champions, but with the tournament as open as ever, no team can be discounted.
Here is who the bookies are tipping to win the World Cup 2026*.
