Portugal makes its first appearance since the 2026 World Cup on Thursday, facing Wales in its UEFA Nations League campaign opener.
The Seleção das Quinas will be playing their first game under veteran head coach Jorge Jesus at Lisbon's Estádio José Alvalade, looking to begin their title defense on a positive note after claiming the Nations League trophy two years ago.
As reigning champions, Portugal is rightfully placed in League A for this edition, while Wales is appearing at the top tier for just the second time. Craig Bellamy and his squad, who were absent from the summer's World Cup in North America, are hungry to cause a major upset in their first encounter with Portugal since falling to them in the Euro 2016 semifinals.
Here's everything you need to know about watching this compelling Nations League opener.
