Both games kick off at 8pm BST (3pm ET).
  • In Group C, Scotland will play tournament favourites Brazil , aiming for their first-ever knockout stage qualification in nine World Cup attempts, as Brazil welcomes back superstar Neymar.
  • Also in Group C, Morocco, led by Brahim Diaz, will seek to secure the top spot against an already eliminated Haiti, building on their impressive draw against Brazil. The Group C games kick-off at 11pm BST (6pm ET).
  • The day concludes with Group A action, where co-hosts Mexico take on the Czech Republic in Mexico City, the co-hosts already guaranteed to top the group.
  • Simultaneously, South Africa and South Korea will battle it out in Monterrey, with both nations desperately needing three points to progress from a tightly contested Group A. Both games kick-off at 2am Thursday BST (9pm Wednesday ET).
