There is no room for mistakes when Italy take on Moldova in their penultimate 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier in the November international window.
The Azzurri find themselves second in Group I, currently out of reach of directly punching their ticket to the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer. After coming up short in their last two World Cup playoff ties, Italy will be desperate to pull off a miracle and finish atop their group.
Gennaro Gattuso’s men must collect three points against Moldova to keep the pressure on first-place Norway, who they are set to face later this weekend. The slim hope Italy have of potentially leapfrogging Erling Haaland and co. in the table would disappear if they drop points on Thursday evening.
Led by Manchester City star Gianluigi Donnarumma, the 2020 European champions will like their odds against a Moldova side that has not won a single fixture in nearly one year.
Here’s how you can watch Italy’s upcoming clash with Moldova on TV and live stream.

What’s Next for Moldova and Italy?
After Italy take on Moldova, they are headed back home where they will face Norway in an all-important battle that could decide first place. The latter has an insurmountable goal differential, though, so even if the Azzurri win, they would still need Norway to drop points against Estonia to have a chance at direct qualification.
Moldova, meanwhile, play their final fixture of 2025 against Israel. Lilian Popescu’s men cannot qualify for the 2026 World Cup after tallying just one point in their first four matches.
