Is Mbappe playing tonight in Ukraine vs France? Check Where to Watch and Live Stream Details

France and Ukraine will take a trip to Poland for their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier game, with both teams aiming to get off to a flying start. France arrive on Polish soil as clear favourites to win Group D ahead of Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Iceland. Didier Deschamps will hope to hit the ground running in full spirit and take the game to their opponents. France are known for their dominant style of football and their ability to turn the tables around as and when they want.

All eyes will be on French skipper Kylian Mbappe who arrives in the national team on the back of a high-scoring start in La Liga for Real Madrid. With Antoine Griezmann missing out on Deschamps' squad for the qualifiers, the onus will be on Ousmane Dembele and Marcus Thuram to lead the line alongside their captain. Les Blues will look to stamp their authority on the game and outsmart Ukraine with the help of blistering pace and the experience of their players.

Ukraine, on the other hand, come into this game with a lot to prove. They have been forced to play a home game away from home at a neutral venue due to security reasons.

A performance worthy of a mention against France could do the trick, The Blue and Yellow. Serhiy Rebrov's men will take inspiration from the fact that they have managed to hold France to a stalemate in both of their last two meetings. Meanwhile, France will be dedicated to bidding goodbye to Didier Deschamps with a trophy at the end of his tenure in 2026 and no better way to get things started than with a win in their opening game.
