Scotland fans were left raging as their kick-off times at the 2026 World Cup emerged in Saturday's announcement.

Scotland will make their first appearance at a World Cup since 1998.

They have been grouped with Brazil, Morocco and Haiti in Group C.

On Saturday, FIFA held a ceremony to reveal the exact schedule for next summer's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Kick-off times ranges from 5pm to 5am (UK time), with England learning their fate ahead of games against Croatia, Ghana and Panama.

Scotland also discovered their kick-off times and their fans are furious.

Steve Clarke's side open their campaign in the early hours of Sunday, June 14, with a 2am (UK time) kick-off scheduled in Boston.

The Tartan Army stay in Boston for their second fixture against Morocco, which kicks off at 11pm (UK time).

And their huge clash with Brazil in Miami also kicks off at 11pm (UK time).

Needless to say, the late kick-off times, especially the 2am one, angered Scotland fans on social media.

One X user wrote: "NOBODY is going to be able to watch these games. Think weens are going to stay up to 2am??"

A second said: "Absolute disgraceful kick off times. No surprise England gets more suitable ones."

A third fumed: "Stupid kick-off times. We're playing on the east coast there's nae need for it being so late, especially with the Haiti game."

A fourth commented: "Disgraceful that it’s at 2am."

Another added: "What are these kick off times!"

Clarke, who was at the World Cup draw ceremony in Washington on Friday, shared his thoughts on Scotland's 'fantastic' draw.

"It’s good. Took a long time to get to the draw, mind, but no the draw is fantastic," he said.

"One of the big things in my head was no European teams - so we are playing three top sides from three different continents of the world, and that’s what the World Cup is all about. So, I think it’s a really good draw."
