It’s not long until the first match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 - Mexico v South Africa kicks-off on Thursday, June 11, at 8pm UK time.
That game will be followed by five weeks of football, with an incredible 104 games to be played, culminating in the final on Sunday, July 19.
Scotland will get their campaign underway against Haiti on Sunday, June 14, at 2am, as they play their first World Cup game since 1998.
That will be followed by games against Morroco and Brazil at the slightly less antisocial hour of 11pm.
While many will enjoy the games at home, there’s nothing like watching the football with a group of fellow fans.
Luckily, Glasgow City Council has allowed pubs showing the games an extended licence during the tournament, meaning they can stay open until 30 minutes after the last fulltime whistle each night (or, more accurately, morning).
It’s worth saying that pubs are likely to be pretty busy on Scotland match days, so it’s worth booking in advance.
Having said that, from pubs holding special events for Scotland fans to enjoy, to those screening every single match, here are 10 of the best places to watch the football in Glasgow while enjoying a couple of drinks.

9. Church on the Hill
Another popular choice for Southsiders is sure to be Church on the Hill who will be showing all the England and Scotland games, along with the semi-finals and the final. Booking is essential to enjoy the special events "set to bring a proper match-day atmosphere to your local". | Google Maps

10. Committee Room No.9
There's certainly plenty of room for the Tartan Army home team in the cavernous Committee Rooms No.9, on Cochrane Street in the city centre. Pub bosses say to "expect giant screens, ice-cold pints and creamy Guinness, electric matchday atmospheres, live music and entertainment, themed food menus and drinks offers tailored for the occasion…plus some extra special match day events!" Unlike many venues they offer walk-ins for all matches in the tournament, so if you've forgotten to book ahead this could be your best bet. | Google Maps
