Today's game between Poland and Romania will kick off at Oct 2, 2026, 2:45 p.m..
TV channel and live stream options for Poland vs Romania are listed below.
Poland host Romania at the National Stadium in Warsaw on October 2, 2026, in UEFA Nations League B Group 4. Jan Urban's side need a result badly, while Gheorghe Hagi's Romania arrive in the Polish capital under significant pressure of their own.
Poland have struggled for consistency in recent months. A 3-1 defeat to Sweden on September 28 leaves them third in the group, and Urban's side have now lost three of their last five matches. Their inability to convert draws into wins has compounded the problem.
Romania's situation is more urgent. Hagi's side have lost their opening two Nations League fixtures — 2-1 to Sweden and 2-4 to Bosnia and Herzegovina — and sit bottom of Group 4. A defeat in Warsaw would leave their promotion hopes in serious trouble.
The head-to-head record offers Poland some encouragement. They beat Romania 3-1 in Warsaw during World Cup qualification in June 2017 and have the stronger overall record across recent meetings.
Robert Lewandowski remains the focal point of Poland's attack and will be expected to provide the cutting edge against a Romanian side that has conceded nine goals across their last two matches.
For Romania, goals have not been the issue — they scored seven in a single game against San Marino during their recent run — but defensive fragility has cost them points at the worst possible time.
