The BBC and ITV have officially confirmed their schedules ahead of next summer's World Cup, and there's going to be some very late nights for football fans.

Last week, after Donald Trump was handed a FIFA peace prize and the Village People performed, we finally learned exactly who would be facing who in the biggest ever group stages in 2026.

Thomas Tuchel's side were drawn alongside Croatia, Ghana and Panama in Group L of the illustrious competition, while Scotland will face Brazil, Morocco and Haiti - the latter of which may be forced to travel without any fans due to being on Trump's controversial travel ban list.

After finally learning the fixtures, fans who aren't quite keen enough to spend a huge amount on going to the actual games and buying expensive pints in stadiums now know exactly when they need to tune into ITV and BBC for their football fix.
