Fans now know exactly where to tune in for Scotland\u2019s group-stage fixtures at the 2026 World Cup, with the national team\u2019s matches split between the BBC and ITV in the early hours of UK time.<\/p>\n
Scotland\u2019s opener against Haiti will be shown live on BBC at 2am on 14 June. The second group match, a huge clash with Morocco, will be broadcast on ITV at 11pm on 19 June. Steve Clarke\u2019s side round off the group in a headline late-night double-header on BBC, with Scotland v Brazil kicking off at 11pm on 24 June, shown alongside Morocco v Haiti.<\/p>\n
The late kick-off times will test the stamina of Tartan Army fans, but at least the remote control choices are simple: BBC\u2013ITV\u2013BBC across the three games.<\/p>\n
England\u2019s schedule is a little more traditional, with both matches so far picked up by different broadcasters. Gareth Southgate\u2019s team begin their campaign on ITV, with England v Croatia at 9pm on 17 June. Their second group match, England v Ghana, switches to BBC at 9pm on 23 June, before their final match \u2014 England v Panama \u2014 returns to ITV at 10pm on 27 June.<\/p>\n
