Scotland v Ukraine live stream, Wednesday 1 June, 7.45pm BST
Looking for a Scotland v Ukraine live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Scotland face Ukraine on Wednesday in the semi-final of the World Cup play-offs, with the winner earning a place in Sunday’s final against Wales.
The tie was originally scheduled for March, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a postponement.
Hampden Park will host the game three months later, as the Scots bid to take a step towards their first World Cup appearance since 1998 against a Ukrainian side that is sure to have the backing of neutrals.
For Steve Clarke’s side, history is within touching distance. The manager already led his country to their first major tournament in 23 years by taking them to Euro 2020 last summer, but now an even greater prize awaits.
Scotland are in fantastic form, having gone unbeaten in their last eight matches, a run stretching back to September 2021.
They won six in a row to reach the play-offs, finishing second in qualifying behind Denmark but ahead of Israel, Austria, Faroe Islands and Moldova.
That was followed up by back-to-back draws against Poland and Austria in March friendlies.
Ukraine also travel to Glasgow after eight games without defeat, although their preparation has been hugely impacted by the awful situation with the war at home.
Oleksandr Petrakov’s side finished behind France in their qualifying group, but ahead of Finland, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kazakhstan.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST on Wednesday 1 June, and the game is being broadcast live by Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. See below for international broadcast options.
VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
