The USMNT has fans dreaming. What are their updated odds of a deep run?

The USMNT has engineered a historic turn in the 2026 World Cup, beating Australia 2-0 to claim two straight wins and seal top spot in Group F. It is the first time since 1930 that the U.S. has won consecutive World Cup matches, and the second straight victory has raised expectations for a deeper run. Early leads and comfortable halves characterized both wins, boosting momentum as knockout-stage qualification became secure. Nevertheless, bookmakers reflect cautious optimism: BetMGM lists the US at 28-to-1 to win the title, FanDuel at 33-to-1, and DraftKings at 35-to-1, with The Athletic forecasting a 2 percent chance. A last-16 berth is priced around -265 (DK) / -260 (FD), while a quarterfinal appearance sits near +120 (DK) / +135 (FD) and semifinal odds reach +450 (DK) / +500 (FD).
