The 2026 FIFA World Cup draw delivered a tougher hand to Canada than expected, and the latest Canada World Cup odds now show that shift.

A surprise addition from Pot 4 reshaped Group B, transforming what looked like a manageable group into one packed with real challenges.

Still, Canada enters the tournament with a viable path forward. If they take advantage of their key matchups, a spot in the knockout rounds is well within reach.

Pick: To qualify from Group B (-225 at Sports Interaction)

I’m backing Canada to qualify from Group B, but the margin for error shrank the second Wayne Gretzky unveiled the Pot 4 card linked to UEFA Path A.

What looked like a comfortable draw suddenly gained teeth — with potential opponents ranging from Italy to Wales to Bosnia-Herzegovina or Northern Ireland. Any of those sides immediately raises the baseline difficulty.

That said, Canada’s objective remains within reach. In a 48-team field where the Top 8 third-place teams advance, four points should be enough to push them through. The draw didn’t break their campaign; it simply made the climb steeper than Canadian supporters were hoping for.
