Scotland face Brazil as six World Cup 2026 group-stage deciders kick off today

Six group-stage deciders are scheduled across Wednesday at the FIFA World Cup 2026, with Group A, B, and C all concluding their campaigns simultaneously — meaning every result carries direct knockout-round consequences.

Group C

The standout fixture of the day sees Scotland face Brazil at the Miami Stadium, with kick-off at 6pm local time (11pm BST). The Tartan Army will be desperate for a result after their earlier defeat to Morocco, and only a win is likely to keep their last-16 hopes alive against one of the tournament favourites.

Morocco and Haiti meet at Atlanta Stadium in the other Group C match, also kicking off at 6pm local time (11pm BST). Morocco’s position at the top of the group could be confirmed or complicated depending on the Scotland-Brazil result.

Group B

Switzerland take on Canada at BC Place in Vancouver at 12pm local time (8pm BST), while Bosnia face Qatar at Seattle Stadium at the same hour. Both matches must start simultaneously under FIFA’s final-round rules, ensuring neither side can benefit from knowing the other result.

Group A

Mexico close out their home group campaign against the Czech Republic in Mexico City, with kick-off at 9pm local time — that translates to 2am BST on Thursday, 25 June for UK viewers. South Africa and South Korea meet at the same time at Estadio Monterrey in Guadalupe, Mexico, also at 9pm local time.
