Which team will win EURO 2028?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: Spain at about a 24% chance.
The field is moderately concentrated, with the top three (Spain, France, England) holding 61% of the probability, but the long tail of 55 candidates and the fact that 7 teams are above 5% show meaningful depth. The biggest recent shift is Spain's surge to 24% after becoming the first team to win both the Euro and World Cup back-to-back twice (Sportstar, Jul 19), which likely boosted their odds from a lower level.
📊 Base rate: In the last five UEFA European Championships (2004–2020), the eventual winner was among the top three pre-tournament favorites in four of five editions, giving a historical prior of about 80% that the champion comes from the current top three.
What's driving it
- • Spain's odds jumped to 24% after their historic back-to-back Euro and World Cup wins (Sportstar, Jul 19), cementing their status as the team to beat.
- • Lamine Yamal becoming the youngest player to win both tournaments (teleSUR English, Jul 19) reinforces Spain's generational talent pipeline, sustaining their high odds.
- • England's odds at 16% are supported by speculative lineups without Harry Kane, featuring Jude Bellingham as a false nine (Planet Football, Jul 20), indicating tactical evolution but also uncertainty about their star striker's role.
Why the front-runners lead
- • Spain leads because they have the strongest recent tournament pedigree, having won the last Euro and World Cup, and their core players like Lamine Yamal are still young and improving.
- • France's 21% reflects their deep talent pool and consistent performance in major tournaments, backed by a strong domestic league and youth system.
- • England's 16% is buoyed by a favorable qualifying path and a squad that reached the Euro 2024 final, though their odds are slightly lower due to questions about Kane's replacement.
Why it's still open
- • Germany at 11% could overtake if they leverage home-field advantage as tournament hosts, a factor that historically boosts performance by roughly 5-10 percentage points.
- • Portugal at 7% and Netherlands at 6% have the talent to challenge, but would need a favorable draw and key players to peak at the right time.
- • Norway at 5% is a dark horse, but their odds are speculative without a proven tournament track record, and they would need Erling Haaland to lead an upset run.
What to watch
- • UEFA EURO 2028 qualifying draw (expected late 2026 or early 2027): A favorable group for a mid-tier team like Portugal or Netherlands could boost their odds by 2-3 percentage points.
- • Pre-tournament friendlies in 2027-2028: A strong win by Germany against a top team could increase their odds by 3-5 points, while a loss by Spain could trim their lead.
- • Injury news for key players (ongoing): An injury to Lamine Yamal or Kylian Mbappé would shift odds away from Spain or France by 5-10 points, opening the field.

Ben Kohles vs The Field
Despite Ben Kohles holding a two-shot lead after the first round of the 3M Open, the field is priced at 92% because Kohles has a history of late-round collapses (most recently hitting into water on 18 to lose on Jul 17) and the tournament still has 54 holes with many top players like Scottie Scheffler only three back (Field Level Media, Jul 24). The single biggest recent shift is the market's skepticism of Kohles' lead, as his odds remain low despite the first-round advantage.
