The 2026/27 Nations League live streams are back as the 54 nations in UEFA compete in a three-tier promotion/relegation league phase before next year's knockout phase and finals tournament in the summer. Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal defend their crown after beating Spain on penalties in the 2025 final.
Now managed by Jorge Jesus, Portugal begin their title defense with a home game against newly promoted Wales. The other big game from Thursday's game is a clash of World Cup 2026 disappointments as the Netherlands host Germany – new bosses Xavi and Jurgen Klopp, respectively, take charge of their first games.
Roberto Mancini returns to the Italy dugout on Friday as the Azzurri seek to put a second missed World Cup qualification in a row behind them. They take on Belgium. Northern Ireland face Georgia, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, in Friday's early kick-off.
On Saturday, England host world champions Spain in the tie of Matchday 1, a repeat of the Euro 2024 final. Thomas Tuchel has some credit to win back from Three Lions fans after their semi-final exit to Argentina in the summer. Scotland visit Slovenia earlier on Saturday, as former Monaco boss Sebastien Pocognoli takes charge of his first match as Tartan Army gaffer.
This is the first of four matchdays to be squeezed into the current three-week international period.
