2026 World Cup Africa qualifiers/ Lesotho vs Nigeria: What time and on which channels to watch the match live?

The Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane (South Africa) will host a highly anticipated clash this Friday between Lesotho and Nigeria, as part of matchday 9 of the African qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Group C is one of the most hotly contested in these qualifiers, with a fierce battle between Benin, South Africa, Nigeria, and Rwanda for a qualification spot.FIFA's recent decision to deduct three points from South Africa for fielding an ineligible player has completely shaken up the standings. Benin has taken the top spot with 14 points, tied with South Africa but holding a better goal difference.The Super Eagles of Nigeria will first travel to Polokwane to face Lesotho on October 10, before hosting Benin on the 14th of the same month in a decisive qualification showdown.
