How to Watch FIFA World Cup 2026 in Scotland — TV and Online
On TV — BBC One, BBC Two, STV, ITV1, and ITV4
Scottish viewers should start with BBC and ITV because the two broadcasters share the full UK package. BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, ITV4, and STV carry the television route, while the split changes by fixture. STV carries selected ITV windows in Scotland, but Scotland vs Brazil is not on STV. Channel numbers vary by provider, so channel number remains pending — check your provider.
Online and Mobile — BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and STV Player
Online viewing runs through BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and STV Player. STV Player lists the World Cup fixture grid for Scotland and marks which matches air on STV. Scotland vs Brazil should be watched through BBC iPlayer because STV lists that fixture as not on STV. Test the correct app before 11:00 p.m. BST.
