Officers are investigating match-fixing claims over the forthcoming World Cup friendly between Nigeria and Scotland, Sky sources say.
The game is due to be played on Wednesday night at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground in London.
The National Crime Agency is now investigating what it thinks could be an attempt to fix the match.
Scotland v World Cup-bound Nigeria is part of a series of warm-up matches ahead of the tournament in Brazil next month.
There is no suggestion that the game at Craven Cottage will be scrapped.
Sky's Scotland correspondent James Matthews said the Nigeria team is the 'home' side and selected the Fulham ground as the venue.
He said: "The National Crime Agency (NCA) is investigating what it believes may be an attempt to fix the match.
"No Scotland players are involved or under any suspicion but the NCA has been liaising with the football authorities in Scotland and Nigeria."
Matthews added: "The Scottish Football Association has said it is liaising with the relevant authorities and is preparing for the game as normal.
"It is my understanding the gambling commission has also issued an alert - a warning - to bookmakers around the world to keep an eye on betting patterns ahead not only of the Nigeria/Scotland game but other friendlies on Wednesday evening."
