Summary
World Cup 2026 Group C is Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti — arguably the most lopsided spread of pedigree in the draw: five-time champions Brazil and 2022 semifinalists Morocco against a Scotland side back after 28 years and a Haiti team returning for the first time since 1974. All six matches are in the eastern US, June 13–24. Here's the full schedule, the venues, and the one eSIM that follows you across all of them.
The four teams in Group C
Brazil arrive as the tournament's most-decorated nation with five World Cup titles and are the clear group seed. Morocco, per Sky Sports, reached the semifinals in Qatar 2022 — the first African and Arab nation ever to do so — and will fancy second place. Scotland qualified for their first World Cup since 1998, and Haiti return to the finals for the first time since 1974. Read our deep dives on Brazil, Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti.

How Group C could shake out
The opening Saturday tells you a lot: Brazil vs. Morocco at MetLife is effectively a battle for top spot, while Haiti vs. Scotland at Gillette is a winnable match both sides will target. With the expanded 48-team format, the top two from each group plus the eight best third-placed teams advance, so even a single win could be enough to reach the Round of 32. Expect Scotland and Haiti to treat their June 13 and June 19 meetings with Morocco and each other as their realistic route through.
