Scotland are back at the World Cup after a 28-year absence.
The Tartan Army headed to North America under the experienced eye of Steve Clarke who has now guided them to three major tournaments in a row.
As Scotland attempt to reach the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time in their history, ESPN takes you through everything you need to know.

Scotland's 2026 World Cup fixtures, results
GROUP STAGE
Scotland 1-0 Haiti -- Sunday, June 14
2 a.m. BST, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Boston
Scotland's first game was certainly their easiest on paper, against the 83rd-ranked Haiti. John McGinn scored the only goal of the game, taking Scotland to the top of the group.
Scotland 0-1 Morocco -- Friday, June 19
11 p.m. BST, Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Boston
Morocco, now sixth in the world, are dark horses for the tournament after reaching the semis four years ago. Ismael Saibari scored the only goal of the game.
Scotland 0-3 Brazil -- Wednesday, June 24
11 p.m. BST, Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens -- BBC
Scotland did not help themselves against a rampant Seleção, an early error gifting Vinícius Jr. the first of his brace. Matheus Cunha was the other man to score as Alisson frustrated Scotland's attempts to get back into the game. They face a nervous wait to see if they reach the knockouts as one of the best third-place teams.
ROUND OF 32
3rd in Group C: Depends on third-place seeding
How to watch
Should results elsewhere go their way and Scotland progress from the group stage, the BBC will have three of the top four picks in the round of 16 and three of the top five picks in the round of 32.
The BBC and ITV both have broadcast rights for the final on July 19 in New Jersey.

World Cup base
Scotland are based in Charlotte, North Carolina, during the 2026 World Cup, using Charlotte FC's Atrium Health Performance Park as their team base camp training site. The 52,000-square-foot facility in East Charlotte will act as Clarke's squad's headquarters as they prepare for Group C games and hopefully beyond.
Scotland also had a pre-tournament camp at Inter Miami's Florida Blue Training Center in Fort Lauderdale before moving on to their World Cup base.
