USA opens as favorite to win 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil, with Spain close behind

The United States has been installed as the favorite to win the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil, with +280 odds (14/5) according to BetOnline Sports and Casino.

The reigning Women's World Cup champion Spain enters the competition with plenty of momentum after capturing the 2023 title, and Spain's men followed by winning the 2026 FIFA World Cup, giving the country a historic "double-double" of world championships.

England, the runner-up in 2023, is listed third at 4/1, while France and Germany are each 10/1. The United States, however, remains the team to beat in the eyes of oddsmakers, owning the most successful pedigree in Women's World Cup history.

The tournament, which will be played across eight Brazilian cities, marks the next major event on the international soccer calendar following the conclusion of the 2026 Men's World Cup. Host nation Brazil is listed at 33/1 despite the expected advantage of playing on home soil.

The Americans will look to add another title in Brazil under a new generation of stars aiming to return the program to the top of the sport. England, which reached the 2023 World Cup final before falling to Spain, is expected to remain among the tournament's elite contenders.

Traditional powers Japan and Australia are both 25/1, while Sweden sits at 20/1, Canada at 50/1, and the Netherlands at 25/1. Further down the board, Belgium and Norway are each 100/1, while Argentina, China, Mexico, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland and South Korea are all listed at 250/1.

More than a year before the tournament kicks off, plenty could change through qualifying, injuries and roster development. With preparations beginning for Brazil 2027, the betting markets view the United States as the early favorite, with Spain poised to challenge for another chapter in what has become one of international soccer's most dominant eras.
