World Cup Kick-off Times for England and Scotland

England has been assigned World Cup kick-off times that cater to UK audiences, while Scotland fans will experience later finishes during the tournament next summer.

England will compete in all three of their group matches in the United States. Their first two games will be against Croatia, on June 17, and Ghana, on June 23, both starting at 21:00 BST.

Their final group match against Panama on June 27 will kick off at 22:00 BST.

Scotland will play their Group C matches in Boston and Miami. They will open their campaign against Haiti on June 14 at Gillette Stadium, with a start time of 02:00 BST.

Steve Clarke’s team will then face Morocco in Massachusetts on June 19, and five-time champions Brazil in Miami on June 24, with both matches scheduled for 23:00 BST.

England’s opening match in Dallas will be played in a closed stadium with air conditioning, due to the anticipated heat in Texas.

The matches in Dallas and Boston, where Scotland will play twice, will utilize a temporary grass surface, as the venues typically feature artificial turf.

Miami, the site of Scotland’s final group match against Brazil, may also face challenges due to extreme heat during the tournament.

Should Wales or Northern Ireland qualify through the UEFA play-off matches in March, they will play all three of their group matches at 15:00 BST. Their schedule includes a match against Canada in Toronto on June 12, Switzerland in Los Angeles on June 18, and Qatar in Seattle on June 24.
