Scotland will face Portugal or Denmark, Greece and Belarus in next year's World Cup qualifiers.

The loser between Portugal and Denmark in March's Nations League quarter-final will be the Pot 1 side in Group C.

Steve Clarke's side will begin their campaign in September 2025, with the fixtures concluding in November.

The Tartan Army will also take on Greece in their own Nations League play-off in March.

The 12 group winners will automatically qualify for the tournament, with the runners-up will go into the play-offs with four Nations League teams.

The 2026 World Cup takes place across North America in June and July, with Canada, the United States and Mexico all hosting games.

Scotland have not reached a men's World Cup since 1998.
