Is Cyprus vs Scotland on TV? Channel, start time and how to watch Euro 2024 qualifier online

Everything you need to know ahead of Scotland’s fixture against Cyprus tonight

Scotland travel to Cyprus for their latest Euro 2024 qualifying fixture today at the AEK Arena as Steve Clarke’s side hope to maintain their perfect record in qualifying so far.

Scotland convincingly beat Cyprus 3-0 at home earlier in qualifying courtesy of John McGinn’s first-half strike and Scott McTominay’s late brace. From there, the Tartan Army have gone from strength to strength in European qualifying, pulling off a superb 2-0 home win against Spain, followed by wins against Norway and Georgia, to take a commanding stranglehold on the group.

Now needing just five more points from their four remaining games, Scotland could take another huge step towards their second consecutive European Championships. Their opponents are winless from their opening three games, having also lost to Georgia and Norway.
