France vs Italy Competition – Nations League Stadium: Stade de France Date: 2nd October 2026 Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
Stade de France stages the standout Group 1 clash on Friday, with leaders France looking to make it three straight wins against an Italy side still chasing consistency. France have won their last two, beating Turkey 1-0 away in their most recent Nations League outing. Before that, a 1-0 away win over Belgium had also come by a single goal, following a 4-6 home defeat to England the game before — their highest-scoring result in the sample. Further back, a 0-2 home defeat to Spain preceded a 2-0 home win over Morocco to open the run. Across these five matches France have taken three wins and two losses, with the England game their heaviest defeat despite four goals scored.
Italy’s run has been stop-start, beating Turkey 4-1 away in their most recent outing. Before that, a 2-0 home defeat to Belgium had snapped a two-game winning run, one that included a 1-0 away win over Greece and a 1-0 away win over Luxembourg. Further back, a penalty shootout exit against Bosnia & Herzegovina opened the sample, lost on spot-kicks after a 1-1 draw. Across these five matches Italy have taken three wins and two losses, with the Turkey game their most emphatic scoreline.
France hold a commanding record in this fixture, winning four of the last five meetings to Italy’s one, with no draws in the sample. The most recent meeting finished 3-1 to France away at Italy in November 2024, following a 3-1 away win for Italy just months earlier. Stade de France has been kind to the hosts in this rivalry — France also won 3-1 at home in 2018, and 3-1 and 2-1 away in 2016 and 2012 respectively.
France sit top of Group 1 on six points from two wins, with Italy third on three points level with Belgium on goal difference. A win for Italy at Stade de France would take them to six points and level with France at the top of the group.
France’s home clash with Italy will be shown domestically on TF1, TF1+, Molotov and myCANAL, with Italian coverage on RAI 1 and RaiPlay. UK viewers can catch it on Amazon Prime Video, and it’s also available in the US via Fox Sports 1, fuboTV, ViX and FOX One.
