Analysis
This market is pricing in near-certainty (98%) that Mexico will host at least one 2026 World Cup match, which aligns with Mexico being a confirmed co-host alongside the US and Canada. The extreme 12,885.7% implied yield on the "No" side reflects the minimal $0.02 spread and tiny probability assigned to that outcome, creating a theoretical arbitrage opportunity if you believe there's any meaningful risk of zero Mexican matches. With only $6,745 in open interest and zero 24-hour volume despite 92 days to expiry, liquidity is severely constrained, making the tight spread potentially misleading—any meaningful order flow could move this significantly.
Resolution rules
If a 2026 FIFA World Cup game is played in Mexico before Jul 20, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
