Turkey vs France Competition – Nations League Stadium: Yildiz Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu Date: 25th September 2026 Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT
A losing run for Turkey meets a France side who have just come off a heavy World Cup defeat when the two sides meet at Yildiz Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu on Friday. Turkey’s most recent result was a 3-2 home win over USA, ending back-to-back defeats. Before that win, a 0-1 home loss to Paraguay had followed a 2-0 defeat to Australia, with those two losses either side of a 1-2 away win at Venezuela before that. Further back, a 4-0 home win over North Macedonia opened this sample. Across these five matches Turkey have taken three wins and two losses, with the USA win snapping their most recent slide.
France’s form has been strong overall but ended on a low note. Most recently they lost 4-6 away at England in the third place playoff game at the 2026 World Cup, following a 0-2 away defeat at Spain the game before — back-to-back losses to close the sample. Prior to those two, a 2-0 home win over Morocco kept an unbeaten run going, and before that a 0-1 away win at Paraguay had itself followed a 3-0 home win over Sweden. Across these five outings France have taken three wins and two losses, with the England game their heaviest defeat by margin despite six goals scored.
France have the stronger recent head-to-head record, with two wins to Turkey’s one and two draws completing the sample. The most recent meeting finished 1-1 away at Turkey in October 2019, following a 2-0 home win for Turkey in June of that year — Turkey’s only win in the run. Yildiz Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu hosts Friday’s game, and while Turkey have shown they can beat France, France have otherwise been the more dominant side across this run, also winning 1-0 at home in June 2009 and 4-0 away back in November 2000.
This is a Nations League group-stage fixture and neither side has played a match in Group A yet, with all four teams currently level on zero points.
Turkey’s Nations League clash with France will be shown in France on TF1, TF1+ and myCANAL, with TV8 and Exxen carrying it in Turkey. US viewers can catch it on fuboTV and ViX.
