Jorge Jesus debut, how to watch Portugal v Wales in the Nations League | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus begins his Portugal tenure against Wales at Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon in their Nations League opener on Thursday at 15:45 Brasília time.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the match will be shown live on SporTV, a pay TV channel.

The former Flamengo head coach replaced Roberto Martínez after the 2026 World Cup, and has signalled changes to Portugal’s approach, including a more defensive midfielder and the option of a second striker. Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, remains selected and should lead the attack.

Alongside Ronaldo, João Félix has previously played for him at Al-Nassr, while João Cancelo and Rúben Neves were coached by him at Al-Hilal. The four are listed in the probable line-up.

Portugal possible XI: Diogo Costa, João Cancelo, Renato Veiga, Rúben Dias, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Rúben Neves, Bruno Fernandes, Pedro Neto, Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix.

Portugal are the reigning Nations League champions and sit in Group A4 with Wales, Norway and Denmark.

Wales are managed by Craig Bellamy. Harry Wilson and Jordan James return after missing the June friendlies. Probable XI: Danny Ward, Neco Williams, Ben Cabango, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Jay Dasilva, Ethan Ampadu, Jordan James, David Brooks, Sorba Thomas, Brennan Johnson, Daniel James.
