Michael O’Neill’s squad prepare for their Autumn World Cup 2026 qualifiers with two friendly internationals in five days - and both games live on BBC Northern Ireland.
First up is a home tie against Switzerland at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park on Friday night (March 21). BBC Sport NI will have live coverage of the game on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two Northern Ireland starting at 7pm.
Stephen Watson presents the live coverage with analysis from former Northern Ireland internationals David Healy, Jim Magilton and Marissa Callaghan. Thomas Kane provides commentary alongside Stephen Craigan.
On Tuesday (March 25) Northern Ireland make the trip to the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm for an away fixture against Sweden.
Stephen Watson introduces the live coverage starting at 5.45pm on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two Northern Ireland and is joined again by Northern Ireland’s record goal scorer, David Healy, former international Jim Magilton and former Northern Ireland Women’s captain, Marissa Callaghan.

Earlier this month, the BBC agreed an exclusive deal to broadcast all Northern Ireland men’s international football matches in the run-up to the FIFA Men’s World Cup 2026.
