What channel is Czech Republic v Republic of Ireland World Cup 2026 qualifying play-off on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Czech Republic v Republic of Ireland in the World Cup 2026 qualifying play-offs, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Republic of Ireland are in Prague for their must-win World Cup 2026 play-off semi-final against Czech Republic on Thursday evening.
Victory would secure their spot in Tuesday's play-off final, against the winner of Denmark v North Macedonia, while defeat would mean missing out on this summer's tournament and waiting four more years for another shot.
The visitors have already proved they can come up clutch in the big moments, beating Portugal in Dublin and Hungary in Budapest to keep their World Cup dreams alive, and they're now just two wins away from booking their flights to North America.
Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side cannot afford to look too far ahead, however, and must focus on beating a tough Czech Republic team with a stern home record.
The hosts, who boast the likes of Bayer Leverkusen striker Patrik Schick, West Ham midfielder Tomáš Souček, and Lyon attacking midfielder Pavel Šulc in their ranks, are unbeaten in their last 17 home qualifiers and have not lost on their own patch since September 2022.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Czech Republic v Republic of Ireland on TV and online.
