Netherlands World Cup 2026 odds peg the Oranje at +2000 to lift the trophy — a mid-tier price that balances genuine quality against genuine doubt. Koeman’s squad is without Xavi Simons (ACL) and Jurrien Timber (groin), yet van Dijk anchors the defence and Cody Gakpo leads the attack. Group F against Japan, Sweden and Tunisia is a soft draw. Full schedule, squad and betting angles below.
Netherlands at World Cup 2026 — Group F & Route
Group F pairs the Netherlands with Japan, Sweden and Tunisia — on paper the most manageable group for any top-10 nation in this tournament. The Oranje are heavy favourites to top it. Winning Group F puts them against the runner-up of Group C in the Round of 32; the path from there runs through the bracket opposite Spain and France. In the expanded 48-team format, finishing first versus second matters: the two routes through the knockout stage diverge sharply by Round of 16.

Netherlands Squad & Key Players
Koeman announced his 26-man squad on 27 May 2026. Fifteen of the 26 play in the Premier League. The headline story is a double injury blow: Xavi Simons (Tottenham) is out for the tournament with a torn ACL suffered in April, and Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) was ruled out with a groin injury shortly after the Champions League final. That removes two of the most dynamic players from the setup. What remains is still a solid group built around van Dijk’s defence and Gakpo’s attack.
- Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, captain) – centre-back and defensive leader; fully fit; one of the best defenders at the tournament
- Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) – attacking midfielder and forward; de-facto main goalscorer with Simons out; strong Liverpool form through 2025-26
- Tijjani Reijnders (Manchester City) – attacking midfielder; stepped into the Simons role after the ACL injury; sharp form at club level
- Frenkie de Jong (FC Barcelona) – central midfielder; missed March qualifiers but returned to the squad; the main playmaker when fit
- Memphis Depay (Corinthians) – forward; Netherlands’ all-time record scorer at 55 goals; returned from a thigh injury per FIFA.com; competes with Gakpo for starts
- Denzel Dumfries (Inter Milan) – right back; fit and likely starter at right flank
