Below, bettors can find World Cup odds for the 2026 awards markets: Golden Boot, Golden Ball and Golden Glove.

Golden Boot is awarded to the player who scores the most goals over the course of the tournament. In 2022, France’s Kylian Mbappe edged out Argentina’s Lionel Messi for the award.

The golden ball goes to the player of the tournament. When Argentina claimed a World Cup win in 2022, voters awarded the Golden Ball to Messi.

Players can win the Golden Ball without their team winning the tournament. In 2018, Luka Modric won the award despite Croatia falling in the final.

Lastly, voters award the Golden Glove to the best goalkeeper at the World Cup. Three of the last four winners also saw their country win the World Cup Final.
