Pope Leo XIV Leads 2025 Time Person of the Year Market at Evens

The latest odds suggest Pope Leo XIV is on track to be named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2025, with betting sites pricing him as the even-money favourite following his rise to the papacy earlier this year.

The appointment of Pope Leo XIV has already made headlines across the globe, and now punters believe the pontiff is poised to follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis, who was selected as Person of the Year in 2013. 

Historically, the title has also gone to John Paul II (1994) and John XXIII (1962) making Leo XIV a potential fourth addition to this elite list.

Betting odds on the 2025 Time Person of the Year give an implied probability of 50% that the Pope will be selected this year.

What the expert says...
Pope Leo XIV fits the Person of the Year profile perfectly as a globally influential figure, elected in a historic year, and with moral gravity. Still, don’t rule out AI or Trump if world events take a dramatic turn.

Papal Momentum Building in Betting Markets

As global eyes turn to the role of religion, unity, and diplomacy in turbulent times, Pope Leo XIV’s emergence as a widely respected leader has boosted his odds significantly in recent weeks. 

His early statements and reform agenda have captured media and political attention alike which are traditionally key drivers in Time Magazine’s final decision.

However, the race is far from over. Donald Trump Sr., currently at 5/4, remains a contender to win back-to-back awards. 

Meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence, a 6/4 shot, could claim the honour in a collective sense, especially if major breakthroughs or societal debates escalate through the remainder of 2025.
