Scotland have learned their group stage opponents for the World Cup 2026 as Steve Clarke’s men were given a tough draw.

Scotland sealed their first World Cup since 1998 in dramatic fashion when they scored two stoppage-time stunners to pip Denmark to top spot in their final qualifier, thereby earning automatic qualification for next summer’s tournament finals.
