England’s World Cup 2026 journey begins under a retractable roof in Dallas against Croatia on June 17, with a kick-off suitable for UK primetime. Their subsequent group matches are scheduled against Ghana in Foxborough and Panama in New Jersey, with the final also taking place at the NYNJ Stadium.
Scotland faces challenging kick-off times for their home fans, starting their campaign against Haiti at 2 am UK time. Their following games are against Morocco and Brazil, both scheduled for later in the day, which should benefit players dealing with the heat.
