One more superlative to add to this 2026 World Cup. 104 matches scheduled over a little over a month, compared to the usual 64. That’s 104 additional opportunities to test your prediction skills. And betting operators have understood this well. In France, 40% of viewers plan to bet on the results of matches, according to a study commissioned by the National Gaming Authority. Stakes should reach a historic level: 1.2 billion euros put on the table in France alone.
