Where and when each nation will play their matches will be confirmed in a separate draw which takes place on Saturday at 17:00 GMT, but there is some certainty at this stage.
Mexico will take on South Africa at Estadio Azteca in the opening match of the expanded tournament, which will involve 104 matches taking place across 16 cities.
In a major change to the draw, the top four nations in the Fifa world rankings – Spain, Argentina, France and England – have been awarded special seedings which ensure they cannot meet until the semi-finals, assuming each wins their group.
England, who achieved a flawless qualifying campaign with eight straight wins, could meet the winner of Brazil’s group in the quarter-finals.
If they win their group, the Three Lions will face one of the eight best-performing third-placed sides in the first round of knockout matches.
Drawn from pot three, Scotland must face Fifa’s fifth and 11th best-ranked nations in Brazil and Morocco as they look to reach the knockout stage at their first men’s World Cup since 1998.
