Victory over the Republic of Ireland on Thursday will be enough to earn a spot at the 2026 World Cup for Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo, fresh off the back of admitting he will have retired by the time the 2030 World Cup arrives, will be particularly motivated to secure one final chance at leading his country to the biggest prize around.
Here’s how fans can keep up with the action across the globe.
