EA Sports has made its prediction for the country that will lift the FIFA World Cup trophy in 2026.
Recall that at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Lionel Messi won his first World Cup title with Argentina after the South American side defeated defending champions France in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Before the start of the 2022 tournament, EA Sports had predicted that Argentina would emerge as champions. The prediction proved accurate, as La Albiceleste eventually went on to win the prestigious trophy.
Based on its track record, EA Sports has earned a reputation for making remarkably accurate World Cup predictions. The gaming company has correctly predicted the winner of each of the last four editions of the tournament.
It successfully forecast Spain’s triumph in 2010 and Germany’s victory in 2014. EA Sports also got its predictions right in 2018 and 2022, correctly identifying France and Argentina as the eventual champions.
EA Sports’ Prediction for the 2026 World Cup
EA Sports has now tipped the Spanish national team to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

The prediction appears realistic, given Spain’s impressive performances in recent years. The team enjoyed a successful UEFA Euro 2024 campaign, defeating a star-studded England side 2-1 in the final to claim the title.
Spain also boasts a youthful and talented squad, featuring players such as Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Rodri, Dani Olmo, David Raya, and Mikel Oyarzabal, all of whom possess the quality to make a decisive impact at crucial stages of the tournament.
Without a doubt, Spain will be regarded as one of the leading contenders for the 2026 FIFA World Cup title, a view that aligns with EA Sports’ latest prediction.
