Everything you need to know about how to watch Italy in friendlies and all major competitions

We are now just over a week out from the 2026 World Cup finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with all 48 teams making their way to North America with dreams of glory driving them. All of the pre-qualifying favourites made it safely through, including Spain, Brazil, England, France and defending champions Argentina.

The World Cup has had no shortage of iconic moments across nearly 100 years of history. Every four years, billions of fans congregate to watch a tournament that has provided more drama, heartbreak and joy than any other event in sporting history. Football's grandest stage, the World Cup has always offered a platform for legends to be born, but it has also seen reputations destroyed and the downfall of so many famous faces.

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid manager Rafa Benitez has emerged as a surprise candidate for the vacant Italy job after expressing a strong desire to lead the Azzurri. The Spanish tactician, who is currently a free agent, has publicly flirted with the idea of taking over the national team as they look to rebuild following a catastrophic period on the international stage.
