[03] How These Odds & Predictions Work

How These Odds & Predictions Work

Every price on this page is a live market on the SX Bet exchange. The figure beside each team is that side's implied probability of winning the match in 90 minutes — taken straight from the order book, so it moves as money comes in. The draw is omitted here to keep the schedule scannable; the full three-way price sits on each match preview.

For the mechanics — how implied probability works, how outright and match markets differ, and how to place your first bet — read the complete guide to betting on the World Cup.

[04] Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the World Cup 2026 schedule?

The tournament runs from 11 June to 19 July 2026. The 72 group-stage matches are played 11–27 June, the round of 32 begins 28 June, and the final is on 19 July. Every fixture above lists its kickoff and live three-way odds from the SX Bet exchange.

How does the World Cup 2026 bracket work?

The top two teams in each of the twelve groups advance to the round of 32, joined by the eight best third-placed teams. From there it is single-elimination through to the final. The bracket above shows the fixed structure now; the actual matchups fill in as the group stage finishes on 27 June.

Where do the match odds come from?

Every price is a live, two-sided market on the SX Bet exchange, shown as each side's implied probability and decimal odds. The numbers move as orders fill, so they update through the tournament rather than sitting on a fixed line.

Can I bet the World Cup matches on SX Bet?

Yes. Each fixture links to its market on SX Bet, where you back an outcome in USDC and are matched against another bettor taking the other side rather than a bookmaker.
