After losing to the USA by one point in the gold medal match at the 2026 Paris Olympics, France can avenge that loss by preventing the Americans from winning their 6th consecutive FIBA Women’s World Cup title.
France is an enticing pick to cover the spread with a +6.5-game cushion.
Current Form:
Team USA advanced to the final of the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup after fending off a spirited challenge from Spain, 76-66, in the semifinals. New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart led the charge with 16 points and 6 rebounds, and Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young contributed 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in the win.
France arranged a rematch with Team USA after posting a clinical 86-64 win over Germany in the other semifinal pairing. Powered by Gabby Williams’ all-around performance (22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists), France took the lead and never looked back to book its ticket to the FIBA Women’s World Cup final.
Players to Watch: USA’s Breanna Stewart (11.0 points on 51% FG with 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists) and France’s Gabby Williams (18.4 points on 57% FG, 5.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists).
The Matchup: Team USA is 7-1 in their last 8 meetings with France. However, the Frenchwomen gave the Americans a run for their money after losing by just one point, 67-66, to their rivals in the gold medal match at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Our USA vs France Prediction
Key Stats: Team USA is averaging 87.6 points per game while allowing 59.8 points per game at the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup.
France leads the competition in scoring, averaging 96.2 points and allowing 60.2 points per contest.
What to Expect: France takes the USA to the limit again. Gabby Williams will deliver another brilliant all-around game to keep France in step with the Americans throughout the match.
In the end, Team USA has too many players who can step up and get big buckets in this high-pressure ballgame. France’s heavy reliance on Williams to create scoring opportunities will be tested for the first time by the No.1 defensive team in this tournament.
Team USA walks away with another world title, but France covers +6.5 points.
Fearless Forecast: USA wins 74-70
Our betting prediction for USA vs. France: France +6.5 points
