Market analysis | What will the 2026 FIFA World Cup do for Spanish sports betting?
With football representing the world’s largest sports betting market, the FIFA World Cup has historically had a significant impact on betting volumes. But what effect could the 2026 FIFA World Cup have on Spain’s regulated sports betting sector?
According to analysts from H2 Gambling Capital: “Applying these dynamics to Spain, we expect the 2026 World Cup to generate in the region of EUR 2 bn of sports betting handle for Spanish licensed operators over the course of the tournament. This figure reflects the combined contribution of existing active players betting more heavily during the event, dormant accounts reactivating, and new account sign-ups drawn in by the tournament”.
On a GGR basis, the consultancy estimates that the tournament could generate approximately EUR 135 m for licensed operators in Spain. The full analysis is available through Gaming in Spain.
