Who Will Win Group C?
Brazil is the favorite. The five-time champions rank sixth in the world and play under coach Carlo Ancelotti. Their attacking depth sets them apart in this group.
Morocco is the strongest challenger. The Atlas Lions reached the semifinals in 2022 and rank eighth. They will fancy second place, and maybe more.
Scotland and Haiti are the outsiders. Scotland could push for a knockout spot, while Haiti aim to compete and enjoy a rare World Cup appearance. Forecasts point to Brazil and Morocco as the two most likely to advance.
FAQ About Group C World Cup 2026
Where do the Group C winner and runner-up play in the round of 32?
The Group C winner plays the Group F runner-up at NRG Stadium in Houston on June 29. The Group C runner-up faces the Group F winner at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, also on June 29. Both are round of 32 matches, the first knockout round of the 48-team tournament.
Is Group C the group of death at the 2026 World Cup?
Not quite. Brazil and Morocco are the clear favorites, while Scotland and Haiti rank far lower. A true group of death needs several elite teams of similar strength, and Group C has two, not four. The race for second place is open, but the group falls short of that label.
When did Scotland last play at a World Cup?
Scotland last played at a World Cup in 1998. The 2026 tournament ends a 28-year absence, their longest gap from the finals. Scotland have reached nine World Cups but have never advanced past the group stage. They qualified for 2026 by winning their European qualifying group ahead of Denmark.
When did Haiti last appear at a World Cup?
Haiti last appeared at a World Cup in 1974, a gap of 52 years. The 2026 finals mark only their second appearance ever. Haiti reached the tournament through North American qualifying, playing their home matches away from home because of the crisis in Port-au-Prince.
Are all Group C matches played in the United States?
Yes. All six Group C matches are played in the United States. The venues are MetLife Stadium near New York, Gillette Stadium near Boston, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. No Group C games are held in Canada or Mexico.
Have Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland been in the same World Cup group before?
Yes. Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland were drawn together once before, in Group A at the 1998 World Cup in France. That was Scotland’s most recent World Cup before 2026. The three nations meet again in Group C, this time joined by Haiti in place of Norway.
Group C World Cup 2026 blends Brazil’s pedigree with Morocco’s recent rise and Scotland’s long-awaited return. The group opens June 13 near New York. Bookmark this page for live standings and results, and catch the action on FOX and FS1.
