How to watch Poland vs Albania: Free Streams & TV Channels for World Cup 2026 playoff qualifier

Robert Lewandowski of Poland in action in a FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier.

The 2026 World Cup will surely be Robert Lewandowski's last should Poland get there, but with Albania and then either Sweden or Ukraine standing in their way, the Barcelona superstar won't be taking anything for granted.

Albania have never qualified for a World Cup as an independent nation, but they're getting closer. They've reached two of the past three editions of the Euros, and under the stewardship of Sylvinho they've developed into underdogs with bite. He steered them to second place in Group K, above Serbia and behind only England.

Although they don't score many – only Rey Manaj, Kristjan Asllani and Myrto Uzuni found the net in qualifying – they're brilliant at defending a lead. The Red and Blacks have won three straight away games without conceding. Their main goal threat Manaj, however, will miss Thursday's clash in Warsaw with a thigh injury. Mirlind Daku is also sidelined.

Likewise, Jan Urban has had an invigorating effect on Poland, who are yet to lose under their new coach. Despite holding the Netherlands to home and away draws, a costly defeat by Finland earlier on in the campaign consigned the Eagles to the playoffs. There's no more margin for error.
