Where to Watch Republic of Ireland v Hungary: TV Channels and Live Streaming Details

Ireland's World Cup 2026 qualification campaign begins on Saturday, September 6th, 2025 at 19:45 p.m. BST when they host Hungary at Aviva Stadium, Dublin.

Heimir Hallgrimsson's Boys in Green are competing in four-team Group F, which also includes Armenia and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal. Hallgrimsson made the bold decision to leave out Ireland’s veteran captain Seamus Coleman, citing the Everton skipper's lack of game time at the club level. Another veteran, Robbie Brady, is injured, leading to a reshuffle in the defense. Additionally, the coach suffered a setback with the news that Troy Parrott sustained a medial knee ligament injury. Parrott had scored the winning goal when these two sides last met in June 2024. On a positive note, skilled playmaker Finn Azaz, fresh from a transfer to Southampton, has returned to the squad, along with winger Chiedozie Ogbene. Evan Ferguson comes into this match in great form after a successful start at Roma.

Hungary's head coach Marco Rossi has included five uncapped players in his lineup for the game against Ireland, but several key figures remain prominent. Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez are expected to pose a challenge to the Irish defense. The squad boasts experience and talent from Europe’s top leagues, including Galatasaray forward Roland Sallai, RB Leipzig's Willi Orban, and Loïc Nego from Le Havre. Adam Lang, who scored in a friendly match when the teams last met in Dublin during the summer of 2024, has not been called up, and legendary goalkeeper Peter Gulácsi has retired from international football.
