Brazil will take on Scotland in Miami on Wednesday in the final round of the Group C at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side needs just one point to assure itself a place in the knockouts. Scotland has three points currently and needs to win to safely qualify and not rely on the third-placed route.

However, the game is under the threat of getting delayed due to adverse weather conditions. Roughly three hours before the kickoff time of 6:00 pm local time, Miami was experiencing heavy rainfall.

According to AccuWeather, the Miami weather forecast is: “Partial sunshine with a couple of thunderstorms late this afternoon; lightning from nearby storms may impact the soccer match.”

What happens if Scotland vs Brazil is delayed due to rain?

This won’t be the first game to be impacted by bad weather. The Group I game between France and Senegal was also suspended for 130 minutes due to rain in Philadelphia.

According to the safety guidelines, a match will only be temporarily suspended if there is a threat of lightning within an eight-mile radius. If there are reports of such strikes, the match will be stopped and only resumed after a span of 30 minutes has passed from the last reported lightning.

If the weather does not permit the game to be completed on Wednesday, it will be postponed to Thursday.
