England's World Cup 2026 chances revealed ahead of their clash with Serbia on Tuesday.
England will head to the 2026 World Cup in North America with expectation once again weighing heavily on their shoulders.
Priced among the frontrunners in the outright winner betting, the Three Lions boast a squad stacked with talent and guided by Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel.
England’s recent consistency at major tournaments has been promosing, but questions remain over their ability to turn this promise into silverware.
Recent near misses, including a semi-final exit at the 2018 World Cup (lost 2-1 to Croatia), runners-up at Euro 2020 on penalties to Italy, a 2-1 quarterfinal defeat to France at the 2022 World Cup, and another Euro final loss in 2024 to Spain, underscore the team’s struggle to convert deep runs into trophies.
After a 2-0 victory over Andorra extended England’s perfect start to their World Cup 2026 qualifying campaign, how strong are their chances of making a deep run in the tournament?

England are 8/1 fourth favourites with Betway to win the 2026 World Cup.
England’s path to the 2026 World Cup has started smoothly on paper, but their latest 2-0 win over Andorra at Villa Park did little to silence concerns about creativity in attack.
Thomas Tuchel’s side dominated possession yet laboured to break down the world’s 174th-ranked team, relying on an own goal and a Declan Rice header to secure the points.
Even so, the victory kept England top of Group K with a perfect record and no goals conceded, strengthening their already short odds to qualify.
A tougher test now awaits against Serbia, a fixture that could offer a clearer measure of their progress under Tuchel.
