Turkey to host Italy in UEFA Nations League Group A clash in Bursa on Sept 29

Turkey face Italy at Buyuksehir Belediye Stadium in Bursa on Tuesday, September 29, in a UEFA Nations League 2026-27 Group A fixture with kick-off scheduled for 12:15 a.m. IST.

Both sides go into the match on the back of heavy defeats on matchday one and sit behind early leaders Belgium and France in League A Group 1; the two nations are competing to remain in the competition’s top tier while pursuing Euro 2028 qualification. Roberto Mancini returned to Italy’s bench on Friday following a third consecutive World Cup qualifying loss, three years after leaving La Nazionale for Saudi Arabia, replacing Gennaro Gattuso and taking on responsibility for steering the squad toward the next European Championship.

The game in Bursa is the second of four quickfire internationals scheduled in this window. Italy have three more matches in the space of a week, meaning this meeting with Turkey must be negotiated before their trip to France four days later.

Broadcast details for the fixture are: in India the match will be shown on Sony Sports Network and streamed on SonyLIV; Prime Video UK and S4C will carry the game on their services; Nigerian viewers can watch on SuperSport Premier League Nigeria via DStv or stream on the DStv Stream app (formerly DStv Now); viewers in the United States can tune into FOX Sports, FuboTV, or ViX.

This fixture precedes Italy’s scheduled trip to France four days later and forms part of a compact slate of matches the Azzurri must complete during this international window.
