FIFA World Cup 2026™ Qualifiers
Italy vs Northern Ireland, March 26th at 3:30P/ET
Toronto, ON (March 10) — TLN TV is counting down to live coverage of Italy’s decisive FIFA World Cup 2026™ Qualifier matches beginning March 26 at 3:30PM/ET vs. Northern Ireland in a match where everything is on the line.
After missing the last two World Cups, Italy’s path to qualification is down to two games — and one loss ends the dream. A win on March 26 sends Italy to the final qualifier on March 31, which also airs LIVE on TLN TV.
The winner of this two-game qualifying path will go on to face Canada in June in what will be the first-ever FIFA World Cup ™ match played on Canadian soil, right here in Toronto. That raises the stakes beyond Italian supporters, Canadian soccer fans across the country will be watching closely to see who earns the right to challenge the home nation.
