Scotland face Brazil at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Wednesday, June 24th in a crucial Group C finale with knockout qualification on the line. Scotland must win to reach the World Cup round of 32 for the first time in their history, while Brazil only need a draw to secure top spot. Scotland arrive on the back of a famous 1-0 victory over Haiti and a narrow 1-0 defeat to Morocco, while Brazil have recovered from an opening draw with Morocco to hammer Haiti 3-0 in their second match.
Every match streams live and free in English on BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK and on SBS On Demand in Australia. These broadcasters geo-block streams outside their home country, so you need a VPN to watch from abroad. We recommend NordVPN for reliable unblocking, fast HD streaming, and broad device support across all three broadcasters.
The match takes place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the final Group C matchday 3 fixture. Kickoff is at 6:00 PM ET / 3:00 PM PT / 11:00 PM BST / 12:00 AM CEST (June 25th) / 6:00 PM local Miami time. BBC iPlayer streams the match free in the UK, while CazeTV carries it free on YouTube in Brazil with Portuguese commentary and a VPN unlocks both options from anywhere.

How to watch Scotland vs Brazil for free with a VPN
CazeTV streams all 104 World Cup matches free on YouTube in 4K with Portuguese commentary, making it the easiest option for Brazil matches. For English commentary, ITVX carries this match free in the UK and SBS On Demand has all matches free in Australia. All three are geo-restricted to their home countries, but a VPN lets you watch from anywhere. See our full FIFA World Cup 2026 free streaming guide for every country.
- Pick a VPN with servers in the UK or Australia. We recommend NordVPN – it operates servers across 224 locations, unblocks BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and SBS On Demand reliably, and offers a 75% for World Cup streaming.
- Install the VPN app on your device (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or supported smart TV).
- Connect to a UK or Australia server to get a local IP address and unlock the free stream.
- Open ITVX, BBC iPlayer, or SBS On Demand and create a free account if prompted. Start streaming the match live.
Platforms like BBC iPlayer, ITVX, and SBS On Demand require you to create a free account. During registration, you will be asked for a local postal code. Simply Google and use any random, valid postal code from that specific country (e.g., a London postcode for the UK) to complete your registration.
Why you need a VPN to watch Scotland vs Brazil
FIFA licenses World Cup 2026 rights country by country, so free broadcasters like BBC iPlayer in the UK and CazeTV in Brazil block streams from outside their home country. The image below shows the error message you'll encounter if you try to access BBC iPlayer from abroad.
A VPN changes your virtual location so the broadcaster recognizes you as in-region, unlocking the free stream. This also helps travelers and expats keep access to their paid home broadcaster like Fox Sports, TSN, beIN, or DAZN while abroad. Check our guide to the best VPNs for streaming and the best VPN for Brazil for more options.
How to watch Scotland vs Brazil free with a VPN – detailed guide
1. Choose a VPN with servers in the United Kingdom or Brazil
NordVPN starts at $3.49/month on the 2-year plan. The NordLynx protocol delivers 82% speed retention in our tests, which means smooth HD streaming with no buffering. NordVPN reliably unblocks BBC iPlayer, ITVX, SBS On Demand, and CazeTV, and its Smart DNS feature works on smart TVs without native VPN apps. The service includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read our full NordVPN review for details.
2. Install the VPN app on your device
Download and install the NordVPN app on the device you plan to watch on: Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, smart TVs, Fire TV, or Apple TV. The app is available globally in all major app stores. If you're watching on a device without a native VPN app like a Samsung or LG TV, you can set up the VPN on your router or use NordVPN's Smart DNS feature.
3. Connect to a server in the United Kingdom or Brazil
Open the NordVPN app and connect to a server in the United Kingdom to unlock BBC iPlayer, or connect to a server in Brazil to access CazeTV on YouTube. Connecting to a server changes your virtual location so the broadcaster recognizes you as in-region. If the stream doesn't load, switch to a different server in the same country. Learn more about how to change your location with a VPN.
4. Open BBC iPlayer or CazeTV
For BBC iPlayer, visit bbc.co.uk/iplayer and create a free BBC account if you don't have one. You'll need to provide a UK postcode – any valid London postcode will work. For CazeTV, go to youtube.com/@CazeTV – no account required. Use a private browser window or clear your cookies if the site detects a previous session location.
5. Start the Scotland vs Brazil match
Find the Scotland vs Brazil live stream on BBC iPlayer or CazeTV and start watching. Keep the VPN active throughout the match for uninterrupted access. If the stream buffers or doesn't load, switch to a different UK or Brazil server, restart the app, clear your browser cache, or try a different device.
How to watch Scotland vs Brazil on different devices
Watching Scotland vs Brazil with a VPN is easiest in a web browser on any device, because no app install or app store account is required. Other devices, especially streaming sticks and smart TVs, often add an extra step, usually switching the app store country or installing the VPN at the router level. This guide explains exactly what each device needs.
Web browser (desktop and mobile)
The simplest setup. BBC iPlayer and CazeTV both work in any modern browser with no app install. Install the VPN's desktop app on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or the mobile app on iOS or Android, connect to a UK or Brazil server, then open the broadcaster's website. Clear cookies or use a private window if the site detects a previous session location.
iPhone and iPad (iOS / iPadOS)
The BBC iPlayer app and YouTube (for CazeTV) are both globally available on the Apple App Store. Install the VPN's iOS app from any region's App Store, connect to a UK or Brazil server, then open the broadcaster app or use Safari to access the web player. A VPN changes your IP address but does not change your App Store country, so if you're using the app, just install and connect. The web browser is the recommended path for travelers who don't want to switch their Apple ID.
Android phones and tablets
The BBC iPlayer app and YouTube app are both globally available on the Google Play Store. Install the VPN's Android app, connect to a UK or Brazil server, then open the broadcaster app or use Chrome to access the mobile site. If the app is region-locked at the store level for any other broadcaster, you can sideload the official APK from the broadcaster's site or use the mobile web player instead.
Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Google TV, Android TV)
Google TV and Android TV have native NordVPN apps and the BBC iPlayer app and YouTube app are widely available. Install the VPN, connect to a UK or Brazil server, then open the broadcaster app. Samsung Tizen and LG webOS do not have native VPN apps, so you'll need to install the VPN on your router or use NordVPN's Smart DNS feature. Smart DNS does not encrypt traffic but it does change your apparent location, which is enough to unblock most geo-restricted broadcasters. NordVPN and Surfshark both offer Smart DNS. Learn more about how to set up a VPN on a router.
Streaming sticks (Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV)
Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV have native NordVPN apps. Install the VPN, connect to a UK or Brazil server, then open the BBC iPlayer app or YouTube app. Roku does not support VPN apps, so you'll need to set up the VPN on your router or use Smart DNS. Older Chromecast devices require you to cast from a VPN-enabled device like a laptop or phone.
Game consoles (PlayStation and Xbox)
PlayStation and Xbox do not have native VPN apps. Install the VPN on your router to cover all devices on your home network, including the console. Then open the BBC iPlayer app or YouTube app on the console. NordVPN and Surfshark publish router setup guides for major router firmwares.
Scotland vs Brazil match preview
Historical review
Scotland and Brazil have met twice at the World Cup, both times in the group stage. Brazil won 2-1 at the 1974 tournament in West Germany and drew 1-1 at France 1998, Scotland's last World Cup appearance before 2026. Brazil lead the all-time head-to-head 3-1-1 (W-D-L), with their most recent meeting a 1-0 friendly win in March 2011.
Current form
Scotland arrive on the back of a famous 1-0 victory over Haiti in their tournament opener, courtesy of John McGinn's deflected strike, followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat to Morocco. The Tartan Army need a win to reach the knockouts for the first time in their history. Brazil recovered from an opening 1-1 draw with Morocco to hammer Haiti 3-0 in their second match, with goals from Vinicius Junior, Neymar, and Rodrygo. A draw is enough for Brazil to top Group C.
Team news
Scotland captain Andy Robertson is fit after a late fitness test for the Morocco match. Scott McTominay is expected to start in midfield alongside John McGinn. Brazil have a fully fit squad, with Neymar and Vinicius Junior both starting after training together ahead of the match. Manager Tite is expected to field his strongest XI with qualification already secured.
Tournament context
Scotland sit third in Group C with three points from two matches, level with Morocco on points but behind on goal difference. A win would guarantee Scotland's progression to the round of 32 for the first time since the tournament expanded to 48 teams. Brazil top the group with four points and need only a draw to secure top spot. This is Scotland's first World Cup appearance since 1998, while Brazil are the five-time champions and favorites to win the tournament.
