Northern Ireland travel to Slovakia on Friday evening for a crucial World Cup Qualifier. Michael O'Neill's side sit third in Group A, three points behind Slovakia and leaders Germany, with two matches remaining.
While automatic qualification for the 2026 World Cup appears out of reach, a win or draw would strengthen Northern Ireland's position for a play-off spot. They defeated Slovakia comfortably at Windsor Park last month, but face a tougher test at Košická futbalová aréna.
The match kicks off at 7:30pm on Friday 14th November 2025. Fans can watch live on BBC Two Northern Ireland and BBC Three, or stream via BBC iPlayer on various devices. Radio coverage is available on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra.
Betting odds from bet365 list Slovakia at 11/10, a draw at 21/10, and Northern Ireland at 3/1. A bet boost offers 16/1 for David Strelec 1+ shots on target, Jamie Reid 2+ shots on target, and both teams to score.
