Group C at FIFA World Cup 2026 brings together Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland across six fixtures from 13 to 24 June. For fans in Bangladesh, standings only make sense when you pair the table with BST kick-off times and the new 48-team format. This guide explains points, tie-breakers, third-place advancement, every Group C match in Bangladesh Standard Time (BST, UTC+6), and a blank tracker table to update as results land.
Casino Compare Bangladesh publishes World Cup 2026 schedules, previews, and responsible betting context for English-speaking readers in BD. We are an editorial site, not a bookmaker. Use the steps below to read the Group C table correctly and avoid confusing US calendar dates with BD dates.
TL;DR: Group C runs 13-24 June 2026 with Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland. The top two advance automatically; the third-placed side may qualify if it ranks among the eight best third-place teams across all 12 groups. In June, BST = US Eastern Daylight Time + 10 hours, often on the next BD calendar day. Confirm schedule changes on the FIFA schedule hub.

How the 48-Team Group Stage Works in 2026
World Cup 2026 expands to 48 teams and 104 matches across Canada, Mexico, and the United States. FIFA uses 12 groups of four. Every team plays three group matches. Points follow the standard rule: three for a win, one for a draw, zero for a loss.
The knockout picture changes sharply. From 1998 to 2022, 16 teams advanced (top two from eight groups). In 2026, 32 teams leave the group stage: 12 group winners, 12 second-placed teams, and the eight best third-placed sides. Those 32 enter a new Round of 32, then Round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and the final on 19 July 2026. A champion must win eight matches, one more than at Qatar 2022.
Group C mixes Brazil’s depth, Morocco’s 2022 pedigree, Scotland’s physical style, and Haiti’s counter-attacking energy. Brazil arrive as five-time champions with squad depth across every position. Morocco proved they can grind results against elite sides at Qatar 2022. Scotland bring set-piece threat and vocal support. Haiti gain global exposure and can punish on the counter if favorites underestimate them.
Any team can finish first or second on paper; a strong third-place tally may still matter when FIFA compares all twelve third-placed sides. Track live tables during the third matchday to see whether your team chases first place, a safe second, or a competitive third-place points total. Our World Cup 2026 sports hub lists every group with BST-friendly fixtures and links to single-match previews.
How to Convert Group C Kick-Offs to BST
June kick-offs in the eastern US use Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4). Bangladesh Standard Time is UTC+6 all year. The fixed offset is ten hours ahead of EDT, so evening US games often land on the next BD morning. Label both dates in your calendar in Dhaka, Chittagong, or Sylhet.
- Find the official US kick-off time on the FIFA match page. June eastern US games use EDT, not EST.
- Write the US local date and clock time. Example: Thursday, 19 June 2026, 9:00 p.m. Eastern for Brazil vs Haiti.
- Add ten hours. 9:00 p.m. + 10 hours = 7:00 a.m. on the next BD date.
- Label the BST date explicitly and set a 15-minute early alarm for team news.
- Re-check 48 hours before kick-off in case FIFA shifts the slot.
| Match | US Eastern (EDT) | BST (UTC+6) | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil vs Morocco | Fri 13 Jun, 6:00 p.m. | Sat 14 Jun, 4:00 a.m. | MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ |
| Haiti vs Scotland | Fri 13 Jun, 9:00 p.m. | Sat 14 Jun, 7:00 a.m. | Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA |
| Scotland vs Morocco | Thu 19 Jun, 6:00 p.m. | Fri 20 Jun, 4:00 a.m. | Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA |
| Brazil vs Haiti | Thu 19 Jun, 9:00 p.m. | Sat 20 Jun, 7:00 a.m. | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA |
| Scotland vs Brazil | Wed 24 Jun, 6:00 p.m. | Thu 25 Jun, 4:00 a.m. | Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL |
| Morocco vs Haiti | Wed 24 Jun, 6:00 p.m. | Thu 25 Jun, 4:00 a.m. | Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA |
The final two Group C matches kick off simultaneously on 24 June, both at 4:00 a.m. BST on Thursday, 25 June. Plan split-screen or quick channel switching if you follow Scotland vs Brazil and Morocco vs Haiti live at the same time.
Opening fixtures on 13 June set early points gaps before the second matchday on 19 June. Mid-group games often decide who chases the top two. Simultaneous finales on 24 June can flip positions within minutes when goal difference matters for both automatic qualification and the best-third-place pool across the wider tournament.
How Tie-Breakers Decide Group C Qualification
Two questions confuse BD fans: who finishes first or second inside Group C, and whether a third-placed side can still advance. FIFA publishes ordered tie-breakers for both cases.
When teams in Group C finish level on points, FIFA first compares only matches between the tied teams:
- Most points in head-to-head matches
- Superior goal difference in head-to-head matches
- Most goals scored in head-to-head matches
If still tied, FIFA moves to all group matches:
- Superior goal difference in all three group matches
- Most goals scored in all three group matches
- Fair play score (fewest yellow and red cards)
- FIFA World Ranking from the latest published edition
For third-placed teams, twelve groups produce twelve third-place finishers, but only eight advance. FIFA ranks them by points, goal difference, goals scored, fair play, and FIFA ranking. A Group C team with six points and strong goal difference can outrank a third-placed side from another group on three points.
Read the official list on FIFA’s qualification and tie-breaker page. Our sports hub links match previews with the same BST logic.
How to Track the Group C Standings Table
Live apps update automatically, but a manual tracker helps during simultaneous finales. Copy the blank table and fill cells after each result. Columns: Pld, W, D, L, GF, GA, GD, Pts.
| Pos | Team | Pld | W | D | L | GF | GA | GD | Pts | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brazil | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Top two advance |
| 2 | Morocco | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | Top two advance |
| 3 | Haiti | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | May qualify as best third |
| 4 | Scotland | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | May qualify as best third |
Quick scoring rules while you update rows:
- Win = 3 points; draw = 1 point; loss = 0 points
- GD = goals for minus goals against across all group matches so far
- Head-to-head mini-league points apply before overall GD when teams tie on total points
- During live simultaneous games, watch GD swings when one match scores while another is still playing
Scenario notes for BD fans tracking form without treating this as betting advice: Brazil often target first place, but Morocco showed at Qatar 2022 they can grind against favorites. Scotland can steal points on set pieces. Haiti may aim for competitive third-place totals if direct wins against rivals are hard to find.
Where to Follow Live Scores Responsibly
Official tables sit on FIFA’s tournament site and match centres. For Bangladesh, verify broadcast options locally because rights differ from US listings.
- Bookmark FIFA match centres for all six Group C fixtures.
- Use our sports hub at casinocomparebd.com/sports/ for BST fixtures and previews.
- Check third-place rankings across all groups after Matchday 3 if your team finishes third.
- Avoid pirated restreams during early-morning sessions.
Online sports betting from Bangladesh sits in a legal grey area. The Public Gambling Act 1867 restricts most gambling, and there is no Bangladesh-licensed online sportsbook for routine football betting. Offshore access is an individual choice with legal and financial risk. This is not legal advice; read our disclaimer.
18+ only. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. Simultaneous Group C finales create volatile live markets when two matches change goal difference in the same hour; pre-set deposit limits beat impulse clicks on in-play prices. If you compare football-friendly apps after matches, review payment methods (bKash, Nagad, Rocket) and withdrawal rules on our tier list. We do not publish guaranteed tips or fixed outcomes.
