A Supercomputer has projected the leading countries tipped to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The tournament will be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, making it the first World Cup to feature an expanded 48-team format.

The 2026 edition will include 12 groups made up of four nations each, alongside a record total of 104 matches.

The competition is scheduled to kick off on June 11 and conclude on July 19, with the final set to take place at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, United States.

According to the Opta Supercomputer, Spain has emerged as the top favourite to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

La Roja were predicted to lift the trophy in 16.1 per cent of the 10,000 tournament simulations carried out by the Supercomputer.

France, England and Argentina were also ranked among the strongest contenders, with each nation winning the competition in more than 10 per cent of the simulations.

Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium completed the top ten list of favourites tipped to win the tournament.

Meanwhile, co-hosts the United States, Mexico and Canada were considered unlikely to emerge as champions based on the Supercomputer’s simulations.
