Description

England and Scotland gear up for the 2026 World Cup, with England facing Croatia and Scotland taking on Brazil in their respective groups. The expanded tournament, featuring forty-eight teams, promises a thrilling summer of football across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. England will play Ghana and Panama, while Scotland starts against Haiti before facing Morocco and Brazil. Wales or Northern Ireland could join Canada, Qatar, and Switzerland in Group B, and the Republic of Ireland has a potential path to the tournament. The top four nations in the FIFA world rankings have been specially seeded, meaning they cannot meet until the semi-finals. The tournament will feature one hundred and four matches across sixteen cities, running from June eleventh to July nineteenth, 2026.
