It promises to be a thriller as the world's two highest-ranked teams, the USA and France, battle it out for the coveted FIBA Women's World Cup title in the 2026 final this evening. The USA's bid for a record-extending 12th world championship and fifth title in a row faces a stern test here against a France side that has been the most dominant team in the tournament and is chasing a maiden World Cup crown. Our prediction backs France to cover the handicap.
France stole the show in this tournament from the opening round when they thumped Hungary by a staggering 46 points – the biggest winning margin of that round. But that was only the tip of the iceberg as they went on to demolish Nigeria by 55 points in their third game, giving them the two biggest winning margins of the tournament after just three outings.
The Blues' dominant run continued in the semi-finals where they eased past Germany 86–64. They boast the tournament's highest point tally at 481 as well as the best point difference at +178.
The USA entered the conversation as one of the tournament's most dominant teams after their 52-point victory over Hungary in the quarter-finals. They were pushed to the brink by Spain in the semi-finals before scraping a 76–66 victory.
That result marked the second of their last four wins to be decided by a respectable margin. While they have dominated this fixture, their most recent meeting with France was decided by just one point.
