World Cup: No. of Matches Decided by Penalty Shootout

World Cup: No. of Matches Decided by Penalty Shootout is a sports prediction market focused on how many matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be settled by penalty shootout. The forecast asks traders to assess whether the total number of knockout-stage matches ending in a shootout will meet or exceed the market’s listed threshold, based on official FIFA results. Because only knockout matches can go to penalties, the event tracks a specific and measurable tournament outcome rather than the overall number of matches played.

The market opened on June 11, 2026 and is set to run through July 20, 2026, giving it a clear tournament-window deadline. Current market probability is around 99.55%, indicating strong market sentiment toward the Yes outcome, though that remains a forecast rather than a certainty. As a World Cup futures market, it is closely tied to soccer tournament dynamics, where tight knockout games can influence the final count of shootouts. Resolution will depend on official FIFA information, with credible reporting used only if needed to confirm the event prediction.
