Seeds read as bracket notation — A1 is the Group A winner, C2 the Group C runner-up, 3rd one of the eight best third-placed teams. For how the outright market priced the tournament, see the winner-odds archive.
[03] How the Format & the Odds Worked
How the Format & the Odds Worked
The bracket works the way the 48-team tournament does: the top two teams in each of the twelve groups advanced to the round of 32, joined by the eight best third-placed sides, and from there it was single-elimination to the final. That structure is fixed by FIFA, which is why the bracket above still reads cleanly as seeds even without the names filled in.
Through the tournament, each fixture on this page carried a live market on the SX Bet exchange — the figure beside each team was that side's implied probability of winning in 90 minutes, taken straight from the order book. Those markets settled and were delisted when the tournament ended, so the schedule now links to the written previews instead. Each preview keeps the prices it was published with, as a snapshot rather than a live quote.
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.
What the prices meant
Every price quoted across this archive came from a live, two-sided market on the SX Bet exchange. The implied probability is that price as a percentage — and because these were real orders rather than a sportsbook's published line, the numbers moved as money came in.
That mechanic is unchanged on every market SX Bet lists today: you are matched against another bettor, not a house, and your stake settles in USDC.

[04] Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When was the World Cup 2026 played?
The tournament ran from 11 June to 19 July 2026 across the United States, Canada and Mexico. The 72 group-stage matches were played 11–27 June, the round of 32 began 28 June, and the final was on 19 July, where Spain beat Argentina 1–0 after extra time.
How did the World Cup 2026 bracket work?
The top two teams in each of the twelve groups advanced to the round of 32, joined by the eight best third-placed teams. From there it was single-elimination through to the final. The bracket below shows that fixed structure — which slot fed which match — rather than the teams that ultimately filled it.
Are the odds on these fixtures still live?
No. SX Bet delisted the World Cup markets once the tournament settled. Each fixture below links to the preview we published before kickoff, and those previews carry the exchange prices they were written against as a frozen snapshot.
Can I still bet soccer on SX Bet?
Yes. The World Cup books are closed, but SX Bet lists domestic and continental soccer year-round. You back an outcome in USDC and are matched against another bettor taking the other side rather than a bookmaker.
