The free-to-air streaming service will show every moment of the Group B3 Nations League 2026/27 fixture at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Debrecen, Hungary, with Israel continuing to play their home matches at neutral venues.
Both sides are looking to bounce back from opening-round defeats. Israel lost 3-1 to Austria, while the Boys in Green fell 1-0 to Kosovo in their first competitive match since their World Cup qualifying exit in March.
This match, however, comes amid considerable tension surrounding Israel’s war in Gaza. Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson said his side were “not playing with genocide, we’re playing against genocide,” while the Israel Football Association hit back by accusing him of “stupidity, ignorance and hypocrisy.” Irish Fans will also be unable to attend the fixture.
