Where to watch Ireland's November football

Kick-off times and TV

RTÉ and Virgin Media share the Irish rights to the 2026/27 Nations League. RTÉ2 showed Ireland's home game against Austria on 1 October. The channel for each November match is set closer to the day, and our fixture list shows it once it is announced.

Saturday 14 November: football and rugby at the same time

Ireland's rugby team plays Fiji at the Aviva at 20:10, 25 minutes after the football kicks off in Linz. Both games run side by side for most of the evening, so the pubs with the most screens are the ones to pick. Say which match your group is there for when you book, and ask for a table with a clear view of that screen.

These pubs list both football and rugby with us and have the biggest screen counts:

Tuesday 17 November: Ireland v Kosovo at the Aviva
