World Cup is Coming!

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is almost here, and football fans in Scotland and England are super excited. But there's a big problem for kids in England - many matches start very late at night!

Midnight Match

Scotland's first World Cup match is against Haiti, and it starts at 2:00 AM on Sunday, June 14th, England time. This means some kids will have to stay up very late. Some parts of Scotland will have a special bank holiday on Monday, June 15th, so kids can get some rest.

Will Schools be Closed?

Some schools and local councils will be closed so kids can get some rest. But not all schools will have the day off. This means some kids will have to go to school the next day after staying up late to watch the match.

England's Matches

England fans are facing a similar problem. England's three group stage matches will start late, at 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM England time. This means many young football fans will be up past their bedtime.
