World Cup 2026 is well and truly underway, and the nation's eyes will be on Scotland as they prepare to take on Haiti at the unusual hour of 2am UK time on Sunday morning.
Boston Stadium in Foxborough will be the backdrop for the Tartan Army's Group C opener, and Steve Clarke's side will be keen to make a strong impression during their first appearance at the tournament since 1998.
However, there are a variety of factors from the expensive tickets to safety concerns that have kept fans away from North America this summer, and those remaining in Glasgow will be on the lookout for the best spots to catch the action.
Good news for supporters is that opening hours have been extended into the wee hours, and the atmosphere on World Cup nights is sure to be a unique experience in the city.
Here, Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know about the best places in Glasgow to watch Haiti vs. Scotland during World Cup 2026, including both screenings and pubs.
Screenings showing Haiti vs. Scotland in World Cup 2026:
The OVO Hydro Glasgow – Exhibition Way, Stobcross Road, G3 8YW
The famous music venue is transforming into a fan zone for each of Scotland's World Cup games, and thousands of supporters are sure to be packed into the OVO Hydro on Saturday night and Sunday morning.
People heading to watch the game here might have missed out on the chance to see the action in person, but being shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow supporters feeling every moment will do a good job imitating the stadium experience.
Tickets are not the cheapest and start at £22.50, but – with Des Clarke hosting – there will be pre-match entertainment and a live band, and if you are looking for something to celebrate the occasion then look no further.
Merchant Square World Cup Fanzone – Merchant Square, 17 Bell Street, Merchant City, G1 1NU
Another community screening event, the Merchant Square World Cup Fanzone will bring supporters together with a giant screen in the centre of an array of food and drink outlets.
The Tap Yard, Sano Pizza, Vodka Wodka, Table 28 and O'Neill's will all be available throughout the night into the early hours of the morning, keeping fans fuelled for what is sure to be a night to remember.
Entry costs £8 per person, a fee that could well be worth it to enjoy the atmosphere with fellow fans.
O2 Academy Glasgow – 121 Eglinton Street, Tradeston, G5 9NT
The O2 Academy Glasgow is offering a similar experience to that of the OVO Hydro, inviting supporters in for a night of entertainment topped off by the big game on the big screen.
This event is organised by 4thefans, a group that have plenty of experience setting up similar occasions, and a ticket will set you back £17.10.
DJs will take to the stage before kick off, hyping up the crowd with classic footballing anthems, and the speaker system at the O2 will surely bring you closer to the action than elsewhere.
Pubs showing Haiti vs. Scotland in World Cup 2026:
The Granary – 10 Kilmarnock Road, G41 3NH
The Granary is a local favourite for fans in the Southside of the city, and is known for building a good atmosphere on matchdays.
Supporters will be able to watch the game live on a number of screens, ensuring a good view of the action with whoever you head down to the pub with.
If affordability is your priority, then the Granary could be your spot for Scotland's World Cup 2026 matches, given that their reasonable prices are widely praised.
O'Neill's Merchant Square – 71-73 Albion Street, G1 1NY
The O'Neill's in Merchant Square will be showing every Scotland game during the tournament, and the bar is sure to be packed for the group stage.
Fans will be treated to an array of screens to watch the match on, and they will be pleased to find an extensive variety of food on offer, too.
O'Neill's also have a spot in Grand Central (40-48 Union Street, G1 3QX) that would make for a good place to follow the action.
Sloans Bar & Restaurant – 62 Argyll Arcade, 108 Argyle Street, G2 8BG
Sloans is regarded as a high-quality venue regardless of the occasion, and they are showing every Scotland World Cup 2026 game live on their big screen.
The bar is also known for its food, and a ticket costing £11 a head will land you a pie at half time as well as a reserved seat.
Sloans is also set to offer a reduced-price menu throughout the first 45, but please keep in mind that spaces are limited to 100.
