World Cup

Date, venue and kick-off

Haiti vs Scotland takes place on Saturday 14 June 2026, kicking off at 2am BST (9pm local time on 13 June) at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It is a FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C fixture. The stadium is the regular home of the New England Patriots NFL side.

How to get tickets

The main FIFA lottery phases, including the Visa Presale and the Random Selection Draws, have now closed. According to Goal.com, the Last-Minute Sales phase launched on 1 April 2026 and operates on a first-come, first-served basis — unlike the earlier lotteries, you get immediate confirmation if a ticket is available when you check out. This is the final route to buy directly from FIFA.

FIFA also runs an Official Resale Marketplace, which Goal.com describes as the only authorised platform where fans can buy and sell verified tickets. It will stay open through to the end of the tournament. Face-value prices for group stage matches excluding host-nation games start at $60, rising to $620 at the top category, per Goal.com's pricing guide for Scotland fixtures.

If you can't find anything through official channels, the secondary market is an option. Prices there are typically above face value and tend to rise closer to kick-off. Use resale platforms that offer buyer protection and check the terms and conditions before you pay.

What do official tickets cost?

FIFA uses category-based pricing. For this match, Goal.com lists the following approximate face-value ranges:

• Category 3 (upper tier): $400–$750
• Category 2 (mid-tier): $800–$1,300
• Category 1 (lower tier / sideline): $1,500–$3,500
• Hospitality / VIP: $4,000+

Category 3 is the entry point if you're on a budget. Prices in all categories can move as match day approaches, so buying sooner rather than later makes sense if you see availability.

Getting to Gillette Stadium

Gillette Stadium sits in Foxborough, roughly 25 miles south of Boston. The MBTA runs a commuter rail service from South Station in Boston directly to Foxborough on match days. If you're driving, parking is available on site but fills quickly for major events, so arriving early is advisable. The stadium address is One Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035.

What to expect from both sides

Scotland qualified for the 2026 World Cup after a playoff win over Denmark, ending a 28-year absence from the tournament — their last appearance was France 1998, per the Evening Standard (June 2026). The Evening Standard also notes that Steve Clarke's squad is strong in midfield, with Scott McTominay and John McGinn key figures, though the goalkeeping options have limited recent game time and the forward line relies heavily on Lawrence Shankland for goals.

Haiti are back at the World Cup for the first time since 1974, per Goal.com. They qualified despite being unable to play any home qualifiers due to the ongoing security situation in the country, according to BBC Sport. Their Group C also includes Brazil and Morocco.

Haiti's squad includes players recruited from European leagues on the basis of Haitian heritage. BBC Sport reported that Wolves midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor are among those called up, with former Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard also a possible addition — though his inclusion is not confirmed, as he has French roots and could yet be called up by France instead.

The Evening Standard's group prediction has Scotland needing to win this opener to give themselves a realistic chance of advancing, with the two remaining games against Morocco and Brazil considerably harder.
