Full details of the Nations League 2026 draw, including who Scotland could face and how to watch.

Scotland will discover who they’ll face in the latest edition of the UEFA Nations League later this week as the draw for the competition gets underway in Belgium.

The nation may have been gripped by World Cup fever after Steve Clarke’s men sealed qualification to the tournament for the first time since 1998 in the most dramatic fashion with a 4-2 win over Denmark back in November.

With the World Cup just a mere four months away, all focus is currently on the tournament in America, where the national team will face Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil in the United States. However, they’ll also soon discover their opponents in the Nations League 2026, which is set to begin later this year.

Who could Scotland face in the Nations League 2026 draw?

Scotland suffered relegation from League A during their last campaign following a 3-1 aggregate defeat to Greece, and will therefore begin their Nations League 2026 campaign in League B.

League B is divided into four pots, and Scotland has been placed in Pot 1. The League B pots are as follows:

Pot 1: Scotland, Hungary, Poland, IsraelPot 2: Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria, UkrainePot 3: Slovenia, Georgia, Republic of Ireland, RomaniaPot 4: Sweden, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland, Kosovo

With Scotland placed in pot 1, they are guaranteed not to face Hungary, Poland, or Israel. The first ball drawn will see that team assigned to group B1. The second ball drawn is assigned to group B2, the third to B3, and the fourth to B4.

The same procedure will be followed for the remaining pots, meaning Scotland will face one team each from pot 2, pot 3, and pot 4.
