SUMMARY:FIFA World Cup 2026: Scotland vs Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Scotland face Haiti in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Group C opener at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough\, Massachusetts on Saturday 13 June 2026. The match marks Scotland’s first men’s World Cup appearance since 1998 and Haiti’s first since 1974. \nWhat is the FIFA World Cup 2026?\nThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is the 23rd edition of the men’s world championship and the first tournament co-hosted by three nations: the United States\, Canada and Mexico. It is the first World Cup to feature 48 teams\, split into 12 groups of four. The top two from each group\, plus the eight best third-placed teams\, advance to a new Round of 32 knockout phase\, making the path to the last 16 more forgiving than previous formats. \nWhen is Scotland vs Haiti?\nKick-off is at 21:00 local time (EDT) on Saturday 13 June 2026. That is 02:00 BST on Sunday 14 June in the United Kingdom and 20:00 local time in Port-au-Prince\, Haiti. \nWhere is Scotland vs Haiti being played?\nThe match is at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough\, Massachusetts\, around 22 miles southwest of Boston. Home to the NFL’s New England Patriots and MLS’s New England Revolution\, the venue has a capacity of around 65\,000 for football. A natural grass surface will be installed over the artificial pitch for the tournament. \nKey Contenders\nScotland ended a 28-year men’s World Cup absence by topping their European qualifying group under head coach Steve Clarke. The squad is built around Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson as captain\, Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and Nottingham Forest midfielder Billy Gilmour. Napoli centre-back Scott McKenna and Celtic forward Lyndon Dykes are also key figures. Scotland have never advanced beyond the group stage at a World Cup in eight previous attempts. \nHaiti qualified via the CONCACAF route in dramatic fashion\, ending a 52-year wait for a men’s World Cup appearance. Head coach Gabriel Calderon relies on forward Duckens Nazon\, Ligue 1 midfielder Danley Jean Jacques and defender Ricardo Ade. Haiti’s only previous World Cup in 1974 saw them exit in the group stage despite a famous goal from Emmanuel Sanon against Italy. \nHow to Watch Scotland vs Haiti\nIn the United Kingdom\, the match is free-to-air on BBC or ITV with streaming on BBC iPlayer and ITVX. In the United States\, FOX carries the English-language broadcast and Telemundo and Peacock show the Spanish-language feed. Scottish viewers can also follow radio commentary on BBC Radio Scotland.
