Soccer Betting Online
2026 is set to be one of the biggest years in soccer history. The headliner is the world's biggest sporting event. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 through July 19, 2026.
The host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup are Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, Vancouver, Dallas, Guadalajara, Houston, Kansas City, Mexico City, Monterrey, Atlanta, Boston, Miami, the New York/New Jersey metro area, Philadelphia, and Toronto. The championship game will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
Soccer betting has remained one of the most popular forms of sports gambling over the past decade. In fact, soccer has never been more popular at sportsbooks than it is now, with the highest-ever betting handle reported in the previous year.
Once upon a time, soccer was strictly a European or South American affair, with little attention paid to it beyond the World Cup every four years. But those days have long since passed. Satellite technology, streaming, online gambling, and the worldwide spread of live sports content have been a boon for the sport.
Now, gamblers can wager on soccer all year with several different major professional leagues to choose from in addition to international competitions. Gamblers can bet on spreads, moneylines, halves, props, futures, and in-game, to name the most popular options.

International Soccer Tournaments & Leagues
UEFA Champions League
Founded in 1955, the UEFA Champions League is a dream league featuring the best teams from the major European professional leagues. There is nothing like it in sports, and it rivals the World Cup in popularity, quality, and betting activity. Even casual gamblers and fans take a liking to the UEFA Champions League and pay close attention to it.
In 2023, Manchester City won the UEFA Champions League and the coveted treble of three major championships, including the Premier League and FA Cup Final.
In 2024, Real Madrid claimed its 15th UEFA Champions League title and its second in the past three seasons. Real Madrid is far and away the most storied franchise in the Champions League.
For 2025, there were plenty of popular future market Champions League favorites, starting with Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich. Paris Saint-Germain ended up as the first-time champion.
For 2026, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona were the top choices among public bettors.
UEFA Europa League
Founded in 1971, the UEFA Europa League is a second-tier European soccer competition, ranking below the UEFA Champions League.
Despite its second-tier status, some famous clubs have won the UEFA Europa League, including Chelsea (2019), Atletico Madrid (2018), and Manchester United (2017). Sevilla has the most UEFA Europa League championships, with seven. In 2024, Atalanta won the championship.
In 2025, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Athletic Bilbao were the top favorites in the future market, with Tottenham prevailing.
In 2026, Aston Villa, Roma, and Porto were the early favorites.
English Premier League
Over the past decade, the popularity of the English Premier League (EPL) has risen meteorically worldwide. The proliferation of online sports betting and the expansion of sports networks, with their insatiable appetite for live content, have fed into this phenomenon. A generation ago, there was little interest in soccer or the EPL in the United States. Now, the EPL is a regular topic of conversation in sports books, bars, and restaurants.
The English Premier League is the most popular of the major professional soccer leagues, with the largest amount of betting activity. It was founded in its current form in 1992. Manchester United has an EPL record 13 championships, but its last title was in 2013. Manchester United was a dynasty under the former legendary manager Alex Ferguson, who led the franchise to all 13 titles. Sir Alex was knighted in 1999.
In recent years, Manchester City has emerged as the dominant EPL club with four consecutive titles. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are other popular and respected EPL historic brands. Manchester City was the most popular EPL team on the board as the 4-time defending champion, but was unseated in 2025 by Liverpool.
As 2026 began, Arsenal and Manchester City were the top favorites for the title.
Spanish La Liga
Founded in 1929, the Spanish La Liga is the top professional league in Spain.
Real Madrid is the marquee franchise of the Spanish La Liga with 36 titles, including as recently as 2020, 2022, and 2024. Barcelona is the other traditional power of Spanish La Liga, with 28 championships, the latest coming in 2023. Atletico Madrid is third with 11 titles, the only other club in double digits for Spanish La Liga titles. Atletico Madrid won its last title in 2021.
In the 2025 future market, Barcelona and Real Madrid were the clear favorites, with Barcelona taking the title.
In 2026, it is more of the same, with gamblers preferring Barcelona and Real Madrid by wide margins over the rest.
German Bundesliga
Founded in 1963, the German Bundesliga rivals the English Premier League for quality and popularity. The only problem the Bundesliga has, if you want to call it that, is the Bayern Munich dynasty. Bayern Munich has a whopping 34 national titles, by far the most in league history. Next is Borussia Dortmund with eight, Borussia Monchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart with five, and Werder Bremen with four.
In 2024, history was made when Bayer Leverkusen won the Bundesliga championship, snapping Bayern Munich's title streak that lasted from 2013 through 2023.
Bayern Munich was the prohibitive favorite in the futures market to win the championship again in 2025, and it did.
Once again, Bayern Munich is the overwhelming favorite to win the title for the 35th time.
Italian Serie A
Founded in 1898, Serie A is Italy's top professional league and draws a worldwide following in both viewership and gambling. As is the case with the German Bundesliga, the Italian Serie A has had a dynasty issue. Juventus has won the most Serie A titles with 36, including nine straight from 2012 through 2020.
The second-most successful franchise in the Italian Serie A is Inter Milan, with 20 championships, followed by AC Milan with 19. AC Milan won the 2022 title, and Inter Milan won the 2021 and 2024 titles. In 2023, Napoli was the champion for the first time since 1990.
For the 2025 championship, Inter Milan and Napoli were the top betting choices, with Napoli prevailing.
In 2026, Inter Milan was the heavy favorite, followed by AC Milan and Napoli.
Major League Soccer
Founded in 1993, Major League Soccer is the most serious attempt at a major North American professional league since the North American Soccer League that existed from 1968 through 1984.
The LA Galaxy leads the MLS with six championships, including in 2024. The Columbus Crew won the 2023 MLS title, and Los Angeles FC took the 2022 title.
The 2025 future market opened with Inter Miami CF, the LA Galaxy, and Los Angeles FC as the championship favorites. Inter Miami CF took the championship.
The 2026 future market odds are pending the finalization of rosters.
