King Charles has approved an additional bank holiday for Scotland in 2026.
A special bank holiday will take place on Monday 15th June 2026, for one day only to mark Scotland’s footballing return to the World Cup after 28 years.
However, the bank holiday will be discretionary for employers and councils and schools will have to take their own decision if schools will be off.
Many people will likely want the Monday off, the first game being at 2am the night before!
