Belgium host Turkey on Friday, 2 October 2026, in the third round of Group A fixtures in the Nations League, with both sides looking to strengthen their position in the group.
The match will be played at Stade Maurice Dufrasne (Sclessin) in Liege, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 GMT.
The game will be broadcast in Sub-Saharan Africa by SuperSport and New World TV, or via DStv Stream. In the MENA region, it will be shown on beIN SPORTS, while DAZN has the rights in Germany and Canada.
Viewers in France can watch the match on La chaine L’Equipe. In Turkey, the broadcasters are ATV and S Sport TV, Ziggo Sport 3 will show it in the Netherlands, and Amazon Prime Video holds the rights in the United Kingdom.
Belgium have three points from their opening two matches and sit second in Group A. Their campaign began with an impressive 2-0 victory away to Italy, but they then lost 1-0 at home to France.
That record leaves the Red Devils in a relatively strong position, although their start has included an element of inconsistency.
Turkey are bottom of the group without a point after two defeats. They lost 1-0 to France before suffering a heavier 4-1 defeat against Italy, meaning they have conceded five goals so far.
The fixture will be the 12th meeting between the two countries, according to Transfermarkt data. Belgium and Turkey have each won three of the previous 11 encounters, while five matches have ended in draws.
Belgium have scored 18 goals across those matches, compared with Turkey’s 17.
The most recent meeting came in June 2011 during European Championship qualifying. That match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Belgium are regarded as favourites for the latest encounter, with home advantage and their victory in Italy strengthening their position. Africafoot’s assessment is that the hosts should be able to control the game against a Turkey side struggling for points, with Romelu Lukaku or Kevin De Bruyne expected to have a decisive influence.
Africafoot’s predicted result is a 3-2 win for Belgium.
The betting odds listed for the game put Belgium at 1.40 to win, with a draw priced at 4.50 and a Turkey victory at 5.20.
