Scotland World Cup 2026 fixtures: Full TV schedule, dates, UK kick-off times and channels

The 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign of Scotland’s national men’s team got off to a very decent start over the weekend, with a decent 1-0 win over Haiti. That win effectively ensures that, even with a difficult group with Brazil and Morocco, the Tartan Army will be through to the knockout rounds. So how can you make sure you don’t miss a moment? That’s where we come in. 

Steve Clark, Andy Robertson and co are playing in the team’s first World Cup since France 1998. They’ve got a tough group – with five-time world champions Brazil and technical AFCON champions Morocco – but a decent chance of making it through to the knockouts.
