Republic of Ireland v Austria live stream
Amazon Prime Video is streaming Republic of Ireland v Austria as a pay-per-view, so it falls outside a standard Prime subscription and no UK channel is carrying it. Kick off at the Aviva Stadium is 19.45 BST on Thursday 1 October 2026.
Ireland needed a response after losing their opener to Kosovo with a single shot on target, and they got one. Three first-half goals saw off Israel at a neutral venue in Hungary, with Troy Parrott again among the scorers.
Home has been the comfortable part lately. Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side have made the Aviva a hard place to come, with a run of clean sheets behind them and a 2-0 win over Portugal among the results.
Austria are a different proposition.
Ralf Rangnick’s team reached the knockout phase at the World Cup and have won both Nations League games 3-1, seeing off 10-man Israel with two late goals in Linz before leading Kosovo 3-0 by the hour in Vienna. That has them top of League B Group 3.
They finished second two years ago and lost a promotion playoff to Serbia, so first place is the target this time. Austria also have much the better of the recent history between the two.
Four competitive games in 11 days means Hallgrimsson may rotate, with Jack Moylan pushing to keep his place after a strong run and a decision to be made over resting Parrott.
Jack Taylor, Mikey Johnston, Evan Ferguson, Jamie McGrath and Josh Cullen are all injured, while Seamus Coleman and captain Nathan Collins are unavailable. Bosun Lawal has been called into the squad having recovered from a hamstring strain.
Austria are without David Alaba, who was not selected, and Marcel Sabitzer, who is taking a break from international duty. Kevin Danso is suspended, Michael Gregoritsch is likely out with an ankle injury, and Paul Wanner and Nikolas Veratschnig have returned to their clubs with knocks.
Konrad Laimer should be fit again after an adductor problem.
