World Cup 2026: Two massive fan parks coming to Edinburgh and Glasgow for Scotland's World Cup games
Two Scottish venues will be transformed into “full-scale fan park experiences”.
Two large-scale World Cup fan zones have been announced in Edinburgh and Glasgow, allowing thousands of fans to gather and watch Scotland’s matches on huge screens in the early hours of the morning.
Entertainment company 4TheFans has revealed the first two official fan park locations, with fans already able to register for tickets.
In Glasgow, 4TheFans will take over the SWG3, while the Edinburgh fan park will take over The Pitt in Granton.
Scotland’s first match is against Haiti and will kick off at 9pm local time in US on June 13 - but 2am on Sunday, June 14 back in Scotland.
The team’s following matches against Morocco and Brazil will kick off at 11pm in Scotland.
The company, which has previously built fan parks for the Euros tournament, said fans will be able to watch the action on huge “anti-glare” screens, with appearances from football stars including Colin Hendry to provide expert analysis.
The zones will also offer food and drink options and entertainment.
Fans can also expect pyrotechnics and CO2 cannons as the goals fly in.
The fan zones have been confirmed for all three of Scotland’s matches, against Haiti, Morocco and Brazil.
More parks are expected to be announced in other major cities.
General admission tickets offer standing access to the fan park, while Premium ticket holders can access reserved table seating and exclusive meet-and-greets with guests.
A spokesperson said: “Scotland’s return to the World Cup has been a long time coming. The excitement is at fever pitch, with anticipation already building for a blockbuster group-stage clash against Brazil.
“After waiting three decades for this moment, Scottish fans can finally come together to cheer their team on the world’s biggest football stage, surrounded by like-minded supporters for every tackle, every moment of drama and every goal.”
Manager Steve Clarke has previously urged the Tartan Army not to push the financial boat out too far to see Scotland at the World Cup next summer.
The national boss described the country as gripped by "World Cup fever" since qualifying for the finals for the first time in 28 years with an unforgettable 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden Park in November.
