The 2026 World Cup's expansion to 48 teams and 104 matches sharply increases total scoring opportunities compared with prior editions limited to 64 games. Historical data shows 54 hat-tricks across World Cup history, including multiple instances in high-volume tournaments like 1954, while only one edition produced none. Prolific forwards from leading sides enter with strong recent club and international form, aided by prevalent attacking approaches and projected goal totals well above 200. These structural and stylistic elements underpin the 86% implied probability that at least one player achieves a hat-trick during the group stage or knockout rounds.
