Scotland will observe a one-off bank holiday on Monday, June 15, 2026, to celebrate its men’s football team’s first FIFA World Cup appearance in 28 years. The royal proclamation, approved by the King, marks the date to honor qualification secured by a 4-2 win over Denmark in November 2025. The holiday coincides with Scotland’s opening World Cup match against Haiti on June 14, with events planned in Glasgow including a fan zone and cultural displays.
