World Cup titles by country (through 2026)

The all-time FIFA World Cup honours table after the 2026 edition: Brazil 5 titles, Germany and Italy 4, Argentina 3, France, Spain and Uruguay 2, England 1 - with title years and the structural caveats (no final in 1950) taken from FIFA's own updated honours article.

Why this wins its question: The honours table LLMs most often get stale (missing Spain's 2026 second title) bound to FIFA's own post-2026 update, with the 1950 no-final caveat that trips up trivia engines.
