Last updated 29 September 2026 with the first two results and the home venue. Fixtures verified against the Football Association of Wales and UEFA.
Wales are back in League A, and the draw has been unkind. Portugal, Denmark and Norway, and two games in it has gone the way the draw suggested: a 1-0 defeat in Lisbon and a 2-0 defeat in Copenhagen, leaving Wales bottom of the group without a point or a goal.
Next up are back-to-back home games at Cardiff City Stadium, against Norway on 1 October and Denmark on 4 October.
This page keeps every fixture, the UK kick-off times and how to watch in one place, and we update it as broadcast details firm up.

Six games across three windows. All three home games are at Cardiff City Stadium. After two rounds Portugal lead with six points, Norway and Denmark have three each, and Wales have none.
The group
Group A4 is about as hard as League A gets. Portugal have been a top-four side for a decade. Norway have Erling Haaland. Denmark reached a European Championship semi-final and have been a difficult night for everyone since.
Wales are here because they earned it, topping their League B group last campaign to go straight back up under Craig Bellamy. The reward is four games against sides ranked above them and two against a Denmark team who will fancy their chances of finishing above Wales.
Staying in League A was the realistic target before a ball was kicked, and after two away defeats it now rests on the four games left, three of them in Cardiff. Winning the group would be a genuine shock.
Two routes to Euro 2028, and both run through this autumn
Wales have more riding on these six games than the table suggests, because there are two separate ways the Nations League feeds into Euro 2028, the tournament that opens in Cardiff.
The seeding. These standings decide the pots for the qualifying draw on 6 December. Finish well and Wales avoid a group with two of the continent’s best. Finish badly and the draw gets a lot harder before a ball is kicked.
The play-off route. Nations League group winners can earn access to the March 2028 play-offs for the last places at the finals. That is a long shot from a group with Portugal in it, but it exists.
Add the host-nation safety net, where two places are held for the best-ranked hosts who miss out, and Wales have more ways into their own tournament than most sides get. They would still much rather qualify properly.
A note on the away kick-offs
The one teatime start left is Norway away on Saturday 14 November, at 5:00pm UK time, which is an easy one to miss. The rest are the familiar 7:45pm.
How to watch
Free to air, on the BBC and S4C. The BBC extended its UEFA deal in June 2026, so every Wales men’s match stays live and free-to-air until June 2028. S4C carries Welsh-language coverage alongside.
Both October home games are on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, with S4C also listed.
Finding S4C
Worth knowing if you are watching from outside Wales, because the channel number changes.
| Where you are | Sky | Freeview | Virgin | Freesat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wales | 104 | 4 | 104 | 104 |
| Rest of the UK | 134 | – | 166 | 120 |
It also streams free on s4c.cymru and the S4C Clic app, and S4C is carried within BBC iPlayer, so you can watch anywhere in the UK without a Welsh postcode or a subscription.
The club sides
Cardiff City, Swansea City and Wrexham are all in the Championship together this season, which has not happened in living memory. The South Wales derby is at the Swansea.com Stadium on Sunday 29 November.
For rugby, our Wales rugby fixtures and TV guide does the same job for the autumn internationals and the Six Nations.
Betting on Wales
League A means Wales are outsiders in most of these, and the handicap and both-teams-to-score markets usually offer more than a straight win bet against sides of this quality. Odds on every Wales game are on the DragonBet football page, and anything here you do not recognise is in the betting glossary.
