Broadcasters including Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV will carry the game in India, with additional live coverage available in other countries.
Italy enter the Nations League under new manager Roberto Mancini as the side begins a fresh phase of selection and tactics. The team will aim to become European champions next time around, but the immediate focus is on building a solid squad. The Nations League is being used as an opportunity to give new players a chance, and the selected roster includes nine new faces. The Italians may alter their approach and will seek the boost of playing at home.
Belgium reached the quarterfinals of the FIFA World Cup 2026, where they lost to Spain. Mark van Bommel has now become the new head coach for the Belgian Red Devils. The squad consists of both experienced and young stars. Despite being away from home, they will be looking confident.
