How to bet Team Canada soccer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup

The biggest sporting event in the world is coming to Canada.

Expectations have never been higher for Canada as they prepare to co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup with Mexico and the United States. Even with a hamstring injury keeping captain Alphonso Davies out of the tournament opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina, oddsmakers expect Canada to punch their ticket to the knockout round for the first time ever.

So, how can you bet on Canada at the World Cup? Let’s get into it.

Don’t forget to check out Sports Interaction’s complete list of World Cup game odds and World Cup futures.

Group stage

Canada avoided the dreaded ‘Group of Death’, joining Group B along with Switzerland, Qatar and Bosnia and Herzegovina. For context, here’s how Group B looks on the FIFA World Rankings:

  • Switzerland (No. 19)
  • Canada (No. 30)
  • Qatar (No. 55)
  • Bosnia and Herzogovina (No. 65)

The schedule will take the Canadians through the reverse order of difficulty on the world rankings as they face Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 12 in Toronto before travelling to Vancouver to take on Qatar on June 18 and Switzerland on June 24.

This will essentially be all new competition for Canada as they have never played Qatar or Bosnia and they have only played Switzerland once. That game was an international friendly in 2002, which the Canadians won 3-1.

Even without Davies out of the Starting XI, Canada is a -120 moneyline favourite in the opener against Bosnia, with the total set at 2.5.

Knockout round

It’s important to remember that the top two teams from each group along with the eight best third-place teams will qualify for the knockout round. That’s massive for Canada as they don’t need to sweep the group to have a very good chance of qualifying.

Canada is expected to make the knockout round, with the favoured exact tournament result being an appearance in the Round of 32 (+125) followed by the Round of 16 (+185).

The major drawback is obviously Davies missing at least the opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina. With Davies’ status in question, a realistic path to the knockout round for Canada looks something like this:

  • Secure a point against Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Beat Qatar
  • Keep competitive against Switzerland

If Canada can break things down to simply recording a win and a draw in the group stage, four points should be enough to qualify as a top-two team in the group or one of the top third-place teams in the tournament.

Top goal scorer

One of the most popular player props will be Canada’s top goal scorer. Jonathan David (+175) and Cyle Larin (+600) are the favourites to lead Canada in goals, while Davies, Promise David and Tani Oluwaseyi are each priced at +1000.

The case for David is simple. He already led Canada with two goals at the 2024 Copa America and he will be the team’s penalty taker at the World Cup. David will have a lot of opportunities to score.

Larin and Oluwasey both split time playing beside Davies in recent international friendlies, so whoever gets that spot in the World Cup has a huge edge. I would lean Larin, who has looked like a new player since joining Championship side Southhampton on a loan in February, recording eight goals in 16 appearances.

Normally, I would be all over Davies to lead the team in goals. Davies is the biggest soccer superstar the country has ever produced and he’s just into his prime at 25-years-old. I’d still lean Davies even if he was less than 100 per cent in all three group stage games, but I have to back off considering he’s missing at least the opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
