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.

6. Wintersgill
Located on Great Western Road, near the city centre, Wintersgill are taking table bookings for all their World Cup matches at the moment. They say you can "expect a great atmosphere, big screens, cold pints and a warm Scottish welcome."

7. Club Campus
Popular with sudents for their drink deals and reasonably-priced food, Campus on Sauchiehall Street will be showing plenty of World Cup matches, including all Scotland's game. They promise "massive screens and huge pre- and post-match parties hosted by Tartan Army DJ Tam Coyle". | Google Maps
8. Saint Lukes & The Winged Ox
For an East End pub on match days it's hard to beat Saint Lukes & The Winged Ox. Along with having the Scotland games on the big screens, there will be live music, talks with former football stars, and 'bandaoke' to keep the party going before the matches and after the final whistle. | Google Maps
