The 2026 FIFA World Cup officially gets underway, with an opening clash between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City.

As co-hosts, Mexico will be looking for a fast start in Group A, while South Africa will view this as a complete free hit, as one of the lower ranked sides in the competition.

In a repeat of the opening game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, these two sides will know the eyes of the sporting world will be upon them.

Read on for some of the best World Cup 2026 tips and odds around.

Top Picks for World Cup Day 1 | June 11

This opening game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup is an intriguing one for many World Cup prediction outlets, as Mexico take on South Africa.

Hosting the tournament along with Canada and the United States has left Mexico with a good chance of progressing from Group A, according to many World Cup bookmakers.

With over 100,000 people in attendance in Mexico City, this should be an iconic curtain raiser to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Mexicans down as favourites with many to open up with a win against Bafana Bafana.

Mexico vs South Africa

Mexico to win the match (£1.53)

While the pressure and expectation within this one is all upon Mexico, they look ready to deliver on the biggest stage of all. Group A feels winnable for the co-hosts, with South Africa, South Korea and Czechia in the mix, making this a key game.

South Africa will sit back and look to absorb pressure, which could kill this one a bit as a spectacle. However, with home fans willing them on and some creative maestros in their ranks, Mexico should get their 2026 World Cup campaign off to a winning start.

🗸 Long Shot: A penalty to be awarded in the match (£3.50)
🗸 Extra Tip: Raul Jimenez (Mexico) to score or assist (anytime) (£2.30)
