Norway are on the cusp of confirming their place at the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998, with Italy poised to engage with the dreaded playoffs next March.
A convincing 3–0 win for Norway in the reverse fixture at the start of qualifying set the tone, with the Azzurri subsequently parting ways with Luciano Spalletti and the Scandinavians only getting stronger.
While Norway’s ’Golden Generation’ have impressively maintained a 100% record throughout qualifying, Italy’s perfect campaign post-Oslo humbling means they still have a chance, albeit a very, very, very slim one, of usurping the group leaders on the final matchday and qualifying for the World Cup automatically.
To do so, Gennaro Gattuso’s side will likely need to win by a nine-goal margin on Sunday.
Here’s how you can watch Italy’s final World Cup qualifier against Norway on TV and live stream.

What’s Next for Italy and Norway?
Italy have looked good under Gattuso, but they’re not going to pull this off. The Azzurri will be involved in the playoffs next March, having previously succumbed at this stage to Sweden and North Macedonia for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, respectively.
Norway, meanwhile, have no friendlies scheduled for the next international break, but they’ll quickly get to work after Sunday’s game. The March interval is the final stoppage before the World Cup, although teams competing at the tournament will likely take part in warm-up games next June.
