The biggest sports event of 2026
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs June 11 to July 19 across 16 host cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Expanded to 48 teams for the first time. 104 matches. Final at MetLife Stadium, July 19.
Where the edge will live
Soccer markets are deeper than people think. Pinnacle prices every match. Soft books are slower on prop adjustments, especially shots on target, corners, and player-specific markets. Plenty of room for de-vig math to find +EV plays.
Slick's plan
Pre-tournament: futures markets (winner, top scorer, group stage). Once the group stage kicks off, daily match coverage with units, book, and the math. Every play graded vs the FIFA final score.
Storylines on watch
Messi's final World Cup. Mbappe's defense of his last final loss. The USMNT on home soil. England's grand chase. Brazil rebuilding. Saudi-funded upset bids.
