Sweden to host Poland at Friends Arena in UEFA Nations League group game on September 28
Sweden will host Poland at the Friends Arena on September 28 (BST) in a UEFA Nations League 2026-27 group stage match. The fixture is part of the group stage of the competition.
Graham Potter’s Sweden arrive off a 2-1 victory over Romania and will aim to tighten their defence after failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 matches. Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres remain the primary attacking duo, while the team seeks a stronger midfield showing and expects home advantage to help.
Poland were held to a goalless draw in their opening Nations League game and missed opportunities to score, with the side now winless in their last four matches under Jan Urban. The visitors plan to control the game from the start, aware that travelling away presents additional pressure.
Sweden have suffered a squad setback with Emil Holm withdrawing after a thigh injury sustained in the Romania match. Poland will be without Jakub Kamiński after he sustained a muscle injury during the clash against Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Projected lineups published ahead of the game list Sweden as: Johansson (GK); Ekdal, Starfelt, Lindelof, Stroud; Walemark, Bergvall, Ayari, Svensson; Gyokeres, Isak. Poland are listed as: Bulka (GK); Cash, Potulski, Bednarek, Kiwior; Frankowski, Nowak, Zielinski, Zalewski; Szymanski; Lewandowski.
Broadcasters for the match include Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV in India, Polsat Box Go and TVP Sport in Poland, and FOX Sports, FuboTV and ViX in the USA; SonyLIV can be used to stream all the games live. This clash is all set to take place at the Friends Arena on September 28 (BST).
Sweden will be looking to build and extend their winning momentum at home, while Poland’s recent run of results suggests a difficult assignment on the road; Graham Potter’s men should come out on top and secure a victory.
