Is Republic of Ireland v Israel on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Nations League clash | OneFootball

The Republic of Ireland and Israel meet again in another politically-charged Nations League clash.

This encounter takes place in Serbia and comes a week after Ireland’s 3-0 win followed days of doubt over whether their squad would fulfil the fixture.

Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has insisted that the focus is on football, though his side’s draw over Austria in Dublin on Thursday was briefly disrupted by protestors calling for a boycott of this game.

Israel, meanwhile, drew 0-0 with Kosovo between their two meetings with Ireland.

Here’s everything you need to know.

The Nations League game is due to kick off at 7.45pm BST on Sunday 4 October at TSC Arena in Backa Topola, Serbia.

Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the game via Amazon Prime Video pay-per-view.
