Thursday provides a smorgasbord of international football for interested audiences across the world, with some high-profile UEFA Nations League battles and the continuation of the fight to reach the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
With plenty of Thursday’s football available at our fingertips, here’s how you can tune into the international action.

There are eight fixtures to be played in the penultimate round of group stage matches in the Nations League on Thursday, with seven of them being shown on the Viaplay International YouTube channel. That includes Belgium’s home tie with Italy and Ireland’s meeting with Finland, although the latter is being shown on RTE in Ireland itself.
However, England‘s duel with Greece is available on ITV in England and its regional subsidiaries STV and UTV in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Three Lions are seeking revenge for their 2-1 defeat at home to the Euro 2004 champions in October.
In Canada, all Nations League matches are being shown on DAZN, including England’s trip to Greece.
There are a myriad of different broadcasters for the competition across the United States, with fuboTV, Fox Sports and TUDN showing the eight fixtures between them on Thursday.

South America’s giants are competing for their spot at the 2026 World Cup on Thursday but those hoping to watch Brazil‘s trip to Venezuela and Paraguay’s clash with Argentina in the United Kingdom will be disappointed, with neither fixture being televised.
However, the midnight kick-off between Ecuador and Bolivia – which is technically a Friday encounter – will be shown on Premier Sports in the UK.
In Canada and the United States, all three CONMEBOL qualifiers are being broadcast on Fanatiz, with kick-off times much more palatable for those in North America.
| Kick-off time (GMT) | Fixture | United Kingdom | United States | Canada |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21:00 | Venezuela vs Brazil | Not televised | Fanatiz USA | Fanatiz Canada |
| 23:30 | Paraguay vs Argentina | Not televised | Fanatiz USA | Fanatiz Canada |
| 00:00 | Ecuador vs Bolivia | Premier Sports 2, Premier Sports Player | Fanatiz USA | Fanatiz Canada |
