Is Northern Ireland v Georgia on TV?
Yes, and it is free to air. The BBC has the game, with BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website both carrying it. Kick off at Windsor Park is 19.45 BST on Monday 5 October 2026.
This is a BBC game, which means free to air, but the channel itself has not been confirmed. BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website will carry it regardless, so no subscription is needed whichever button you end up pressing.
Northern Ireland go into it top of Group B2 on seven points and unbeaten through the international break. They won 1-0 in Tbilisi to open the campaign, held Hungary goalless three days later, then won 3-0 in Ukraine on Friday.
There is a lot riding on it at both ends. A win would all but secure Northern Ireland at least a promotion play-off place, while defeat would leave Georgia staring at relegation out of League B.
Windsor Park has been a fortress under Michael O’Neill, with defeats there a rarity in recent years and clean sheets closer to the norm. Dan Ballard is the one absentee, the Sunderland defender having picked up a hamstring injury in that win over Georgia last month.
Jamie Donley is expected to lead the line again, supplied by Isaac Price and Kieran Morrison, who is on loan at Sheffield Wednesday from Liverpool.
Georgia’s break has gone the other way entirely. Willy Sagnol was sacked after that opening defeat in Tbilisi, ending a reign that had taken the country to its first major tournament at Euro 2024 and a last-16 tie with Spain, but which came apart during World Cup qualifying.
Ramaz Svanadze, previously in charge of the under-21s, has taken over and drawn 0-0 with Ukraine before losing 1-0 in Hungary on Friday. Georgia are still waiting on a first goal in the group.
Otar Kiteishvili is missing, so Anzor Mekvabishvili should partner Irakli Yegoian in midfield. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze carry whatever threat the visitors have.
