Türkiye v France: what time and which channel for Nations League opener | OneFootball

France travel to Türkiye on Friday for matchday one of the Nations League group stage, with broadcast details below.

According to L'Équipe, the competition is available on L'Équipe live and on the L'Équipe channel.

TV schedule: Friday 25 September, kick-off 20:45, Kocaeli Stadium, live on TF1.

In his first match in charge, Zinédine Zidane has refreshed France’s squad, handing maiden call-ups to Jérémy Jacquet, Estéban Lepaul, Andy Diouf, Guillaume Restes and Lucas Da Cunha, while leaving out Aurélien Tchouaméni, N’Golo Kanté, Lucas Hernandez and Lucas Digne.

For Türkiye, Vincenzo Montella has added new faces, with Arda Güler joined by Adil Demirbag, Bartug Elmaz, Melih Kabasakal and Ilhan Fakili. Lille goalkeeper Berke Özer remains out after leaving the camp without permission in October 2025.

On paper it looks a favourable opener for Les Bleus, though the hosts aim to reset after a disappointing World Cup in the United States, where they finished bottom of Group D. Zidane’s players are seeking points in Türkiye to settle into this three-week international window.
