Will Cristiano Ronaldo score a goal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Prediction Market OddsCristiano Ronaldo is on course to make another defining mark at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Portugal captain expected to find the net during the tournament in North America. Already the first player to score in five different World Cups, Ronaldo could further extend one of football’s most remarkable records if he adds a goal in 2026.
The expanded 48-team tournament is set to offer Portugal additional opportunities on the global stage, and Ronaldo’s enduring role as a penalty taker and central attacking presence keeps him firmly in position to contribute. A goal in regular time, stoppage time or extra time would strengthen his legacy in what could be his final World Cup appearance.
Ronaldo, who will be 41 during the tournament, has continued to demonstrate elite scoring instincts deep into his career. His pursuit of another World Cup goal is expected to be one of the major storylines surrounding Portugal’s campaign.
