UEFA's revised format for World Cup qualification means there's even less wriggle room than usual to drop points against the so-called smaller nations. So if Ireland want any chance of qualifying automatically for their first edition in more than 20 years, they'll need to come away from the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium with three points on Tuesday.
They relied on a 93rd-minute Adam Idah equalizer to scrape a 2-2 home draw against Hungary at the weekend, having gone two goals down in the first 15 minutes. It was yet another disappointing result under coach Heimir Hallgrímsson who has so far failed to ignite enthusiasm back home since taking the job last year. They'll take solace in the fact Armenia suffered a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Portugal on the same day, extending their winless 2025.
Can Ireland avoid a humiliating defeat akin to the one Armenia enjoyed three years ago? Read on to get all the details of how you can watch Armenia vs Ireland live streams online, from anywhere and for FREE.

Watch Armenia vs Ireland from anywhere
Armenia vs Ireland live streams will be shown on different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
You can still watch Armenia vs Ireland live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). This software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for soccer fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.S. and want to view your usual Irish service, you'd select an Ireland server from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to your usual local streaming service and watch the game.
