WThere are 100 days left until the start of the 2026 World Cup, which will be held for the first time in three countries, and of course the excitement is growing day by day, and the names of the favorites are starting to circulate, with the news platform Reddit also being talked about, with users of the social network naming candidates.
The top five teams likely to win the 2026 World Cup are missing one team that could be a strong contender to win the title due to the quality of their players.
Reddit’s favorites to win the 2026 World Cup
The platform known for sharing news started the conversation 100 days before the start of the 2026 World Cup with a simple question: “Who are the five favorites to win the World Cup?” And of course, first place goes to Argentina, who for many will be Lionel Messi’s “last dance” at the World Cup, and who will arrive as champions, giving them an advantage over the other participating nations.
Brazil are second in the survey, but several Reddit users have pointed out that this is not necessarily due to the quality of the team, but rather to the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti and what he can create in the dressing room to break a 24-year drought without hosting a World Cup.
Spain are certainly one of the teams that received the most positive reactions on Reddit, and in fact are ahead of Argentina for many teams, especially thanks to Lamine Yamal’s showing in the European Championship and the Nations League. Without a doubt, Lamine Yamal is the player whose fans have high hopes of winning his second World Cup.
2026 World Cup: England and France are other contenders, but what about Portugal?
Many users also point out that England are likely to win the World Cup. Harry Kane is in great form at Bayern Munich, but Cole Palmer is one of the great figures for Thomas Tuchel’s team, not to mention the rise of Anthony Gordon.
France came in last place in this type of survey conducted on Reddit, despite holding up Kylian Mbappé as a great icon. They are not the main favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, but what was most impressive was that very few users pointed to Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo’s last tournament, who has already won the European Championship and the Nations League and wants to retire at the World Cup.
