Scotland head to Ljubljana to face Slovenia at the Stadion Stozice on Saturday, September 26, for their opening match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27.

Slovenia, led by Boštjan Cesar’s side, will enjoy home advantage and are expected to press for control early in what the preview describes as a tight encounter. The hosts are noted in the build-up as having capable players but needing the right tactics, a possession focus and an avoidance of small errors.

Scotland arrive following a World Cup 2026 campaign described as not very positive and will begin their Nations League with new head coach Sébastien Pocognoli in charge. The preview says the Tartan Army face the usual challenges of an away fixture but that Scotland possess quality players and aim to target three points.

Viewers in India can watch the match live on the Sony Sports Network and via SonyLIV. The article lists Prime Video UK and BBC iPlayer as platforms for fans in the host nation, and adds that Sportklub will also broadcast the fixture in the host nation.

Audiences in the United States can access live coverage on FOX Sports, FuboTV and ViX. For continual match updates and related coverage, follow Khel Now on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube or via the Khel Now Android and iOS apps, and join their WhatsApp and Telegram communities.

Kick-off is scheduled for 06:30 p.m. IST on Saturday, September 26, at the Stadion Stozice in Ljubljana.
