World Cup: Most Player Goals Record Broken?
5%
Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
At single-digit, unlikely odds, the market is pricing a very low chance that the tournament record of 13 goals will be broken. The odds fell slightly (-1 pts) over the past day and have declined 3 points over the week, suggesting modest downward momentum in the probability of a record-breaking performance. This level reflects the rarity of such prolific individual scoring across a month-long tournament.
How this market resolves
This market resolves Yes if any player scores 14 or more goals during the 2026 FIFA World Cup (including extra time but excluding penalty shootout goals); otherwise it resolves No. The resolution date is July 20, 2026.

What could move it
- The record stands at 13 goals from 1958; reaching 14 would be a significant anomaly, so any player approaching double digits by the group stage could shift sentiment.
- The tournament does not occur until mid-2026, leaving nearly two years for squad composition and rule changes to potentially affect scoring patterns.
- Cancellation or major postponement after August 2, 2026 could trigger alternate resolution terms per the market rules.
