The Netherlands did what the prediction markets said they would. On June 25, 2026, Ronald Koeman’s side beat Tunisia 3-1 to finish first in Group F at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Prediction markets on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi had the Dutch at roughly 80% implied probability to win the group, and the team delivered exactly that.
Next up for the Netherlands is a round of 16 matchup against Morocco, which finished second in its group.
