Haiti World Cup 2026 Schedule (Haiti Time / EDT)
Here is Haiti’s full Group C schedule for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Haiti Local Time (EDT / UTC−4):
| # | Date | Match | Venue | Kickoff (Haiti Time) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sat, June 13 | Haiti vs Scotland | Gillette Stadium, Boston | 9:00 PM |
| 2 | Thu, June 19 | Brazil vs Haiti | Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia | 8:30 PM |
| 3 | Wed, June 24 | Morocco vs Haiti | Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta | 6:00 PM |
Haiti Time = EDT (UTC−4) — identical to US Eastern time in summer
- Note on Haiti Time: Haiti observes EST (UTC−5) in winter and EDT (UTC−4) in summer. Since all three matches fall in June, EDT applies — meaning Haiti runs on the exact same clock as US Eastern time for the entire group stage.
- Note on Match 2: Brazil vs Haiti at 8:30 PM ET is the only half-hour-offset kickoff in the entire group stage, making it 8:30 PM Haiti Time — the one non-standard slot across all 72 group stage matches.
Time conversion reference:
| EDT | Haiti Time |
|---|---|
| 9:00 PM EDT | 9:00 PM |
| 8:30 PM EDT | 8:30 PM |
| 6:00 PM EDT | 6:00 PM |
Key notes:
- Haiti’s three Group C fixtures are vs Scotland in Boston on June 13 at 9:00 PM ET, vs Brazil in Philadelphia on June 19, and vs Morocco in Atlanta on June 24 at 6:00 PM ET.
- Ideal scheduling for Haitian fans — all three matches fall between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM local time, with no late nights or early mornings required.
- Haiti plays across three different US East Coast venues — Boston, Philadelphia, and Atlanta — staying entirely on the East Coast throughout the group stage.
- Haiti are making a historic appearance, qualifying for the 2026 World Cup as a CONCACAF nation alongside the United States, Canada, Mexico, Curaçao, and Panama.
- Group C consists of Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.
Haiti’s World Cup Record and Recent Form
Haiti first played at a World Cup in 1974 in West Germany.
They faced Italy, Poland and Argentina, and finished bottom of the group but scored two goals.
Key historical points for you:
- World Cup appearances: 2 (1974, 2026).
- Best finish: Group stage in 1974.
- Legendary moment: Emmanuel Sanon scored against Italy, ending Dino Zoff’s long unbeaten run.
- Confederation: Concacaf, regular Gold Cup participants.
In recent years, Haiti improved through Nations League and Gold Cup runs. They qualified for 2026 via the Concacaf route, finishing near the top of their group and winning key away matches.
This generation mixes European‑based players with strong local and MLS‑based talent. You now see Haiti arrive with more experience and structure than in past decades.
Predictions and Tactical Outlook
Group C looks difficult but not impossible if Haiti start fast.
Brazil carry star power, Morocco bring tactical organisation from their 2022 semi‑final run, and Scotland add physical European intensity.
How Haiti Likely Play
You should expect a compact defensive block with quick counter‑attacks. The coach often uses a 4‑2‑3‑1 or 4‑3‑3, with athletic full‑backs and mobile forwards.
Key strengths:
- Pace in wide areas for counters.
- Experienced centre‑backs who manage pressure in big stadiums.
- Midfielders who now play regularly in Europe and MLS.
Main risks:
- Defensive lapses when chasing games against elite sides.
- Limited depth if injuries hit the spine of the team.
Key Haitian Players to Watch
- Johny Placide (GK): Veteran leader who brings calm and organisation.
- Ricardo Adé (DF): Strong centre‑back with good reading of the game.
- Hannes Delcroix (DF): Left‑footed defender, comfortable stepping into midfield.
- Jean‑Ricner Bellegarde (MF): Dynamic midfielder, carries the ball and presses hard.
- Danley Jean Jacques (MF): Box‑to‑box presence who covers ground and wins duels.
- Duckens Nazon (FW): Clinical finisher and emotional heartbeat of the attack.
- Frantzdy Pierrot (FW): Physical striker, dominant in the air and dangerous in the box.
If Haiti beat Scotland and take something from Morocco, a round‑of‑32 place becomes realistic.
Goal difference against Brazil may decide whether a third‑place route stays open.
