​EA Predicts World Cup Champion: Spain to Lift the Trophy

According to ESPN, EA SPORTS FC recently simulated the 2026 World Cup, and the results show that Spain will be this year's champion.

Notably, EA has a remarkable record with its World Cup predictions. The company has correctly predicted the last four men's World Cup winners – Spain in 2010, Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022 .

According to the report, Lamine Yamal is predicted to be Spain's top scorer in the simulation, with Pedri as the team's leading assist provider . As the World Cup approaches, EA's backing of Spain has once again drawn attention to whether this "lucky prediction" will continue to hold true.
