Resolution criteria

This market resolves to YES if the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final requires extra time (two 15-minute periods) or a penalty shootout to determine the winner after regulation time (90 minutes plus stoppage/injury time).

This market resolves to NO if a winner is decided within the 90 minutes of regulation play (plus standard stoppage/injury time), without proceeding to extra time or a penalty shootout.

Key Details:

• Official Source: The outcome will be determined using the official FIFA Match Report for the Final (Match 104), which will be available on the FIFA Official Website.

• Rule Changes: If FIFA alters the tournament format prior to the final (e.g., removing extra time and proceeding straight to a penalty shootout), any method of determination beyond the standard 90 minutes of regulation plus stoppage time will still resolve as YES.

• Postponements/Cancellations: If the match is suspended, abandoned, or postponed, this market will remain open until the match is officially replayed and completed. If the final is permanently canceled and no winner is determined, the market will resolve to N/A.
