The 2026 Men's World Cup has kicked off, and EA Sports has revealed the results of its simulation, forecasting Spain as the champion this year. The simulation foresees Spain clinching its second World Cup title on the men's side, with its last victory dating back to 2010. Impressively, EA's simulation track record has been accurate for the past four Men's World Cups, correctly predicting the winners as Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022.
Despite a hiccup in 2006 when the simulation wrongly picked the Czech Republic to win, this year's prediction points to Spain's success. Notably, the simulation also highlights 18-year-old Lamine Yamal from Spain as the top goal-scorer of the tournament, marking his debut World Cup. On a different note, the simulation suggests that the United States team is likely to exit the competition in the round of 16.
While EA Sports no longer holds the FIFA license, its latest game, EA Sports FC 26, introduces a 'World's Game' update. This update includes a 48-team tournament mode that, while distinct from the World Cup, offers a similar experience. For those seeking an officially licensed FIFA World Cup game, Netflix has launched a new title that will receive updates throughout the tournament.
