Italy Battles Norway in Crucial 2026 World Cup Qualifier: Complete Viewing Guide
Norway stands on the brink of securing their World Cup berth for the first time since 1998, while Italy faces the prospect of entering the dreaded playoff rounds come March.
A dominant 3-0 victory for Norway in the earlier qualifying encounter established the momentum, leading to Italy's separation from Luciano Spalletti while the Scandinavian squad continued to flourish.
Despite Norway's 'Golden Generation' maintaining an unblemished qualifying record, Italy's flawless run following their Oslo setback leaves them with a mathematical possibility, though extremely remote, of overtaking the group frontrunners on the final day to secure automatic World Cup qualification.
For this scenario to unfold, Gennaro Gattuso's team would require a nine-goal victory margin on Sunday.
Below are the viewing options for Italy's concluding World Cup qualifying match against Norway on television and streaming platforms.

What's Next for Italy and Norway?
While Italy has shown improvement under Gattuso's guidance, achieving the required result appears unlikely. The Azzurri will enter March's playoff competition, having previously fallen at this hurdle to Sweden and North Macedonia for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups respectively.
Norway has no international friendlies arranged for the upcoming break, but preparations will commence immediately following Sunday's encounter. The March window represents the final pause before the World Cup, though participating nations will likely arrange preparation matches in June.
