This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2026 IIHF World Championship hockey tournament. If at any point it becomes impossible for a listed team to win the 2026 IIHF World Championship per the rules of the tournament (e.g. they are eliminated in the knockout stages), the corresponding market will resolve to “No”. If the 2026 IIHF World Championship is cancelled, postponed after June 14, 2026, or there is otherwise no winner declared within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the IIHF World Championship tournament organizers (https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2026/wm); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Canada enters the 2026 IIHF World Championship in Switzerland as the clear trader favorite, buoyed by an elite roster featuring Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, and Sidney Crosby alongside deep forward and defensive lines. Early results reinforce this positioning, with Canada securing opening wins including a 5-3 victory over Sweden that highlighted superior skill and finishing. Finland and Switzerland follow as next contenders due to proven defensive structures and goaltending stability, with the hosts also benefiting from home-ice familiarity in a tournament where upsets remain possible. Sweden and the United States, the defending champions, trail amid roster constraints from ongoing NHL playoffs, while lower-priced nations face steeper paths against top competition.
