Scotland vs. Brazil World Cup 2026: Kickoff Time, TV & Streaming Info

The upcoming match between Scotland and Brazil stands out as an intriguing group stage battle. It pits a nation with rich World Cup history against a team returning after a long absence from the tournament.

Brazil comes into this contest ranked sixth globally, while Scotland holds the 43rd spot. Scotland's last World Cup appearance was in 1998, where they exited at the group stage behind Brazil, Norway, and Morocco.

Brazil remains the only country to have qualified for every World Cup ever held. With five titles under their belt, they haven't won since 2002 and are eager to move past their heartbreak in the 2022 quarterfinals, where Croatia knocked them out via penalties.

The Brazilian squad includes stars like Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, PSG defender Marquinhos, and seasoned midfielder Casemiro, all focused on bringing the trophy back home.

Leading Scotland are Napoli's Scott McTominay and Tottenham's Andy Robertson. The Scots hope to advance beyond the group stage for the first time in their history.
