The FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament is just around the corner, and the excitement is in the air. And now, the challenge is to figure out our go-to spot to watch the action happen in a pleasant, fuss-free environment full of braw folk. The games are kicking off on June 11 and will last until July 19.
What is more, Scotland is playing its first game on Sunday, June 14 at 2am UK time. On Friday, June 19 Scotland will also play Morocco at 11pm UK time.
So worry not, for we made a delightful list of cheerful places in Glasgow to go to watch the World Cup unfold in Glasgow.
OVO Hydro
OVO Hydro is hosting a massive Scotland fan zone for the World Cup, ‘Our Moment’, in Glasgow, with kick-off time not being an obstacle.
Looking ahead to the matches, Dominic McKay, SEC Chief Executive Officer said: “This summer is a moment that lives beyond football. It will be a moment of national significance and we want to create a place where the Nation can gather to celebrate and cheer on Scotland.”
The games will be showing late, but the kick-off times are far from an obstacle and will heighten the atmosphere and make the occasion all the more memorable for supporters who want to savour the experience and create lifelong memories.”
