Based on current standings, England and Scotland are on course to meet in the World Cup last 16 in Mexico City on 6 July at 01:00 BST.
England currently sit top of Group L, while Scotland occupy third place in Group C as the final round of group stage fixtures approaches.
The final group matches get under way on 24 June, with the World Cup final itself scheduled for 19 July.
However, plenty could still change before either side secures their place in the knockout rounds and a potential meeting is confirmed.
England face Panama in their final group game, while Scotland take on Brazil, meaning both sides have significant tests still to navigate.
Results elsewhere across the tournament will also play a crucial role in shaping how the bracket ultimately looks heading into the last 32.
This expanded World Cup features 48 teams in total, with 32 sides advancing through to the knockout stages rather than the traditional 16.
The top two teams from each of the 12 groups progress automatically, with the remaining knockout spots filled by the eight best third-placed teams across all groups.
With so many teams advancing and 12 groups to track, following the various permutations and qualification scenarios is considerably more complex than in previous tournaments.
If teams finish level on points, head-to-head results are used as the first tiebreaker to separate sides within the same group.
Should teams remain tied after head-to-head records, goal difference and goals scored are applied before FIFA’s Team Conduct Score, a disciplinary metric based on red and yellow cards, comes into play.
If sides are still inseparable after all those criteria, their position in FIFA’s June ranking update serves as the final deciding factor.
These tiebreaker rules apply both within the 12 individual groups and when determining which of the 12 third-placed teams earn the remaining knockout stage berths.
BBC Sport has developed a projection tool that updates in-game to illustrate the schedule all the way through to the final, helping fans plan ahead across three host nations and four different time zones.
