The World Cup 2026 knockout stage is being played right now, and markets are open on every match. On PolySouq you trade a Yes/No contract on each knockout match's outcome, priced to reflect the live probability moment by moment.
In the knockout stage, every match is decisive — no draw preserves a team, just an immediate result or a penalty shootout. This makes odds far more sensitive to new information (a player injury, an expected lineup) than in the group stage.
A 70-cent price on "Team A advances" means the market estimates their advancement probability at roughly 70%. See our guide to reading prices and probabilities for the full mechanics.
