Slovakia vs Kosovo kick-off time

World Cup Qualification UEFA - 2nd Round

National Football Stadium

Slovakia vs Kosovo will kick off on 26 Mar 2026 at 15:45 EST and 19:45 GMT.

Match preview

Despite a hefty 6-0 defeat to Germany on the final matchday of Group A qualifying, Slovakia finished second and remained in the hunt for a first appearance at the finals since 2010. They relied heavily on their home form, with five unanswered goals in three home victories, extending their unbeaten run at home to eight games (W6, D2).

Kosovo's quest for a first World Cup appearance as an independent nation continues apace. Their tally of three wins in Group B was triple the number they had managed in 18 matches across their first two qualification campaigns. A defeat away to Switzerland saw them enter the playoff path, but they have claimed a win in their three other games played away from home or on neutral soil since the start of 2025. That sequence includes impressive clean sheets in Sweden and Slovenia. 

The winners here will face either Romania or Turkey for a place at the finals.

Key stats & injury news

Slovakia are unable to call upon the services of Lubomir Satka, with the centre-back breaking a bone in his hand earlier this month.

23-year-old Kosovo star Fisnik Asllani has netted eight goals and provided five assists in 26 Bundesliga appearances for Hoffenheim this season.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Slovakia vs Kosovo today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
