Where to watch Kosovo vs. Turkey live stream, TV channel, start time for World Cup qualifier match

There is one place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup squarely on the line as Kosovo and Turkey match up in one of the four UEFA World Cup qualifying playoff finals on Tuesday.

Turkey have not made a World Cup tournament since 2002, when they finished third overall in Japan and South Korea, while Kosovo have never made a World Cup finals.

Kosovo, ranked 78th in the world, defeated Slovakia 4-3 in a wildly entertaining match to reach this stage, while 24th-ranked Turkey defeated Romania 1-0 on a goal from Ferdi Kadioglu of Brighton.

The winner of this match will qualify directly for the World Cup this summer, slotting into Group D where they will meet the United States, Paraguay, and Australia.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
