Portugal v Wales: UEFA Nations League kick-off time and where to watch

Portugal host Wales at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon on Friday, September 25 in the opening round of the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League, with kick-off at 12:15 a.m. IST. Viewers in India can watch the match live on Sony Sports Network and via SonyLIV.

Portugal enter the fixture as reigning UEFA Nations League champions; they have won the competition in 2019 and 2025 and are the most successful team in the league’s history. Jorge Jesus took over as manager of the Portugal national team on July 10, replacing Roberto Martínez, who left after the 2026 World Cup. Seleção das Quinas were beaten 1-0 in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup by eventual winner Spain. That defeat was the national team’s first loss since November 2025. Wales lost to Bosnia-Herzegovina in the semi-finals of the playoffs at the end of March and did not make it to the 2026 World Cup.
