EA Sports has remarkably maintained its FIFA World Cup prediction streak after correctly forecasting Spain as the 2026 champion. The team defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final, making it the fifth straight World Cup in which the gaming company successfully announced the winner.
Before the tournament began, EA Sports FC shared its prediction on X, writing: “We've predicted four in a row. Now we've run the sim again. The next champion? Spain.” What seemed like a promotional post before kickoff has now become another accurate forecast.
EA Sports had foreseen Spain’s victory in 2010, followed by Germany in 2014, France in 2018, and Argentina in 2022. Spain’s win in 2026 has brought this streak to five consecutive cups.
It is always one of the regular topics of discussion ahead of every FIFA World Cup, when fans speculate about the prediction made through simulations.
Spain clinched the FIFA World Cup title with a score of 1-0. Emiliano Martínez set a historic World Cup final record with 11 crucial saves to keep the defending champions alive through 120 minutes of relentless pressure.
The teenagers, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsí, caught the fans’ attention with their debut. Additionally, Rodri was awarded the Golden Ball as he led the midfield in Spain’s victory under the head coach Luis de la Fuente’s guidance.

Celebrations following Spain’s win featured representatives from the Spanish Royal Family and politicians. According to the Qazinform News Agency, US President Donald Trump also showed up as a surprise guest of honor at the party.
While the simulation remains a fun pre-tournament tradition rather than a guarantee of results, its consistency captures the attention of football fans worldwide. Spain's 2026 victory, led by a new generation of stars and experienced leaders, will be remembered for extending one of the most talked-about prediction streaks.
