England have been handed World Cup kick-off times which suit UK audiences – but Scotland fans face later finishes during next summer’s tournament.
England will play all three of their group games in the United States, with their first two matches against Croatia, on 17 June, and Ghana, on 23 June, kicking off at 21:00 BST.
Their final group game against Panama on 27 June begins at 22:00.
Scotland will play their Group C games in Boston and Miami, with their opener against Haiti on 14 June at Gillette Stadium kicking off at 02:00.
Steve Clarke’s side’s next two matches, against Morocco in Massachusetts on 19 June and five-time winners Brazil in Miami on 24 June, will both start at 23:00.
England’s opening match in Dallas will be played under a closed roof, with air conditioning in the stadium, because of the expected heat in Texas.
Their matches in Dallas and Boston – where Scotland play twice – will be on a temporary grass surface, as they normally operate with artificial turf.
Miami, the location of Scotland’s final group match against Brazil, is one place extreme heat might prove an issue during next summer’s tournament.
Should they qualify through two rounds of Uefa play-off matches in March, Wales or Northern Ireland would play all three group matches at 15:00 BST.
They would face Canada in Toronto on 12 June, Switzerland in Los Angeles on 18 June, and Qatar in Seattle on 24 June.
