Portugal have had quite the 2025, which can only mean there was an absence of a major international tournament.
While the star-studded Iberians have underwhelmed on the biggest stage, they’ve proven themselves to be among Europe’s strongest this calendar year and will be regarded as one of the favourites to win their first World Cup next summer.
Their qualifying campaign for the tournament has barely gotten underway, yet Roberto Martinez’s side are already on the cusp of securing their spot. Two victories in Lisbon this month should be enough.
They’re first taking on the Republic of Ireland on Saturday night, and here’s how supporters can tune in across the globe.

What Next for Portugal and Ireland?
Hungary have proven to be a tough out under Marco Rossi, as Portugal were reminded last month, and Martinez’s side are hosting the reverse fixture in Lisbon on Tuesday. Victory there could be enough for Portugal to book their place at the World Cup.
Should that be the case, Ireland could face a team with little to play for in November, when they welcome the fifth-ranked side in the world to Dublin.
Ireland must beat Armenia on home soil in their next qualifier on Tuesday night.
