EA Sports FC 26 has predicted Spain as the winner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, following countless simulations of the tournament. The prediction aligns with EA’s past accuracy: Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022. Spain enters as Euro 2024 champions and FIFA’s top‑ranked team, boasting stars like Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Pedri, Nico Williams, and a solid defence led by Marc Cucurella and Aymeric Laporte. They face Group H opponents Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay.
Key Points:
EA’s simulation correctly predicted four of the last five World Cup winners, giving this forecast weight.
Spain’s blend of young talent (Yamal) and experienced midfield (Rodri, Pedri) makes them a credible favourite.
A favourable group stage (Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay) allows Spain to build momentum.
The prediction may influence betting markets and fan expectations ahead of the tournament.
If EA’s streak continues, Spain could lift their second World Cup trophy.
The tournament kicks off on June 11; fans will watch closely to see if EA’s simulation matches reality for a fifth consecutive time.
