The 2026 FIFA World Cup is the biggest one ever. 48 teams, 12 groups, three host countries, and Bafana Bafana on the plane. From a betting standpoint that is more fixtures, more markets, more group permutations, more outrights, and a lot more chances for an SA player to get lost in tabs.
So we built a home for it. Everything 10bet has done for the 2026 tournament now sits inside one hub at 10bet.co.za/world-cup-2026/: fixtures, odds, predictions, team and group pages, specialty markets, a dedicated Bafana page, and a welcome offer for new players. This is the tour.
Quick answer: the 10bet World Cup 2026 hub puts every fixture, every market, every group, every team page and every predictions thread in one place. New SA players can register, claim the welcome bonus, and place a Bafana bet in under two minutes.
If you only follow Bafana, jump straight to the team page. If you watch the whole tournament, the groups and outright pages do the heavy lifting.

01The hub at a glance
The main hub at 10bet.co.za/world-cup-2026/ is the front door to everything tournament-related. Live fixtures float to the top. The featured outright markets sit one tap below. Bafana coverage runs through the heart of the page because of the partnership and the timing. Promotions tie into the hero.
From there, every other page is one click away: the betting fundamentals, the odds pages, the team pages, the 12 group pages, the predictions threads, the specialty markets and the bonuses page. Built mobile first, so if you are reading on your phone in a taxi, on a bench at Greenpoint, or in a queue at Pick n Pay, the experience holds.
02For first-timers: How to Bet and Betting Guide
If this is your first big tournament as a bettor, two pages do the warm-up.
How to Bet
A walk-through for new players. Open the slip, pick the market, set the stake, place the bet. Built for someone who has never tapped a “Place Bet” button before.
Open How to BetBetting Guide
The bigger context. How tournament betting differs from PSL, what markets exist, how odds move closer to kick-off, and which markets suit which kind of player.
Open the Betting GuideYou do not need either of these to enjoy the tournament, but ten minutes on the betting guide will save you a lot of “wait, what does that mean” moments during a live match.
03The odds pages: match, outright and winner odds
Three odds-focused pages cover the spectrum from “what’s on tonight” to “who lifts the trophy in July.”
Match Odds
The day-by-day, fixture-by-fixture market board. Match result, draw no bet, both teams to score, totals, handicaps. Updated as kick-offs approach.
Open the odds pageWinner Odds
The outright winner board. Who lifts the trophy. Long odds, big payouts if your dark horse comes good, decided over the full month of the tournament.
Open winner oddsSpecial Bets & Props
For the punt that does not fit a standard market. Player props, fixture props, tournament-long props. See section 8 for the full break-down.
Open special betsA practical tip: open the winner odds page early in the tournament and bookmark whichever team your gut tells you to back. Outrights compress as the group stage clears, so the same R50 dream bet placed on day one is worth far more than the same bet placed on day fifteen.
04Predictions, betting tips and today’s matches
The editorial side of the hub. This is where the conversation lives.
Predictions
Weekly picks from the 10bet team. Match-by-match calls, group-stage predictions, and bracket-style outright picks as the tournament unfolds.
Open predictionsBetting Tips
Curated angles. Markets we think are worth a second look, value spots before kick-off, and the calls we are not making and why.
Open betting tipsToday’s Matches
The “what’s on tonight” page. Every fixture, all confirmed kick-off times in SAST, live and pre-match markets in one scroll.
Open today’s matches05The Bafana Bafana page
This one is built for SA. 10bet is an official partner of Bafana Bafana, and the dedicated team page pulls together everything that matters for the boys at the tournament.
- Fixtures in SAST so you do not have to convert from Eastern Time at 3am
- Match markets specifically for Bafana fixtures
- Outright markets where Bafana is in the conversation (group qualification, top scorer, last 16, quarter-finals)
- Squad context that ties into the Belief campaign and the build-up content on the blog
- Quick access to register, deposit and place a Bafana bet from the same page
If you mostly care about how Bafana go and you only have one tab open during the tournament, make it this one.

06Team pages: Brazil, England, Argentina, France, USA, Bafana
Six dedicated team pages, one for each side that matters most to SA viewers. Each page collects that team’s fixtures, market boards, head-to-head context, and outright odds in one place. Useful when you have decided to bet on a fixture and you want every angle for that one match without scrolling through the full tournament page.
| Team | What the page covers | Open |
|---|---|---|
| Bafana Bafana | SA-specific markets, fixtures in SAST, partnership content | Bafana |
| Brazil | Match markets, top scorer angles, outright tournament position | Brazil |
| England | Match markets, key player markets, outright odds | England |
| Argentina | The reigning champions. Markets, fixtures, repeat-winner odds | Argentina |
| France | The 2022 runners-up. Markets and outright pricing | France |
| USA | One of the three host nations. Markets, fixtures, host-advantage angles | USA |
07Groups: all 12 of them
2026 is the first 48-team World Cup, which is why there are 12 groups instead of the eight you remember from 2010. Each group has its own page on the hub with fixtures, group-qualification markets, and a running picture of who needs what.
The groups page is the starting point if you want the panoramic view:
Each group has its own dedicated page. Quick jumps:
Groups D through L follow the same template, reachable from the main groups page.
08Specialty markets: top scorer, special bets, props
For the bettor who wants markets beyond match result and outright winner.
Top Scorer
Outright top scorer for the tournament. A small bet on a long-shot striker can run for the whole month if your pick keeps scoring.
Open top scorerSpecial Bets
Tournament-long specials. Things like “team to reach the semis from each region,” “first nation to be eliminated,” and other one-off markets that only exist at a World Cup.
Open special betsProps
Match-level prop bets. Player to be carded, corners over/under, exact goal scorer, half-time/full-time combinations.
Open propsProps are the most fun bets in soccer betting and the easiest to overdo. Treat them as the dessert, not the main course.
09The welcome bonus: Free Bet, Free Spins and up to R5,000
New SA players who sign up through the hub can claim a welcome pack across sports and games: a Free Bet, Free Spins, and up to R5,000 in bonus value. The exact split sits on the bonuses page along with eligibility, wagering and expiry terms.
A few honest notes before you opt in:
- Offer availability, eligibility and terms apply. Always read the page before claiming.
- Free Bet stakes do not return on a winning settled bet. Only winnings return. That is standard for SA operator free bets.
- Free Spins are credited on specified games. Winnings are typically subject to wagering before they convert to withdrawable cash.
- R5,000 is the maximum bonus value possible across the pack, not the amount handed to every new player.
- 18+ only. Play responsibly. Set a deposit limit before you place your first bet.

11FAQs
Where can I bet on the 2026 World Cup in South Africa?
On any licensed SA operator. 10bet runs a dedicated 2026 World Cup hub at 10bet.co.za/world-cup-2026/ with fixtures, odds, predictions, team pages, group pages, and Bafana-specific markets.
What time will Bafana matches kick off in South Africa?
The 2026 tournament is hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Most Bafana fixtures will land in the late afternoon or evening in SAST. Confirmed times sit on the Today’s Matches page and on the Bafana team page once each fixture is locked.
How many teams are at the 2026 World Cup?
48 teams, the largest in tournament history. The expansion is why there are 12 groups (A through L) instead of the eight groups you remember from 2010.
Can I place outright winner bets on Bafana?
Yes. Outright winner odds for every team, including Bafana, sit on the Winner Odds page. Outrights typically pay long odds but lock in for the duration of the tournament.
What is the 10bet welcome offer for new SA players?
A welcome pack across sports and games: a Free Bet, Free Spins, and up to R5,000 in bonus value. Eligibility, wagering and expiry terms apply. Read the bonuses page in full before claiming. 18+ only.
Where do I find weekly World Cup predictions from 10bet?
On the Predictions page inside the hub. The team posts match-by-match calls, group-stage picks and bracket predictions as the tournament unfolds.
Is the 10bet World Cup hub mobile-friendly?
Yes. Built mobile first. Every page in the hub adapts to portrait or landscape and works inside the 10bet app, which loads the page faster than a mobile browser on a busy network.
What is the difference between match odds and winner odds?
Match odds price a single fixture (Bafana vs Country X tonight). Winner odds price the whole tournament outright (which team lifts the trophy). Match odds settle within hours. Winner odds settle in July when the final whistle blows.
One hub, every fixture, every market, every Bafana moment. The 2026 World Cup is going to move fast. Make sure you have your bookmarks set before kick-off.
