Moldova and Bulgaria meet in an international friendly, with both sides looking to build momentum ahead of the next competitive window.

Moldova arrive at this fixture having struggled for results in recent months. Ion Nicolaescu's side have lost their last four matches, including defeats to Cyprus and Lithuania in March, and will be desperate to arrest that run against familiar European opposition.

Bulgaria come in with more confidence behind them. Three wins from their last five matches, including a productive March window, give Lavovete a platform to build from as they continue their efforts to reassert themselves on the European stage.

Both squads will use this game to give players minutes and test combinations before competitive football resumes. With the 2026 World Cup now underway in North America, the summer friendly schedule carries extra weight for nations still watching from the outside.

For Bulgaria, the focus is on maintaining the positive momentum built over recent months. For Moldova, the priority is simpler: stop the losing streak and find something to take into the next campaign.

Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Moldova vs Bulgaria, including TV channel listings, live stream options, and kick-off time.

Moldova have lost all four of their last five matches, with their only point coming from a 1-1 draw with Estonia in UEFA World Cup qualification back in October 2025. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-2 defeat to Cyprus in March 2026, following a 2-0 loss to Lithuania days before that. Earlier in the run, they were beaten 4-1 by Israel and 2-0 by Italy in World Cup qualification. Across those five games, Moldova scored five goals and conceded eight.

Bulgaria have won three of their last five matches. Their most recent result was a 1-0 defeat to Montenegro on June 1, 2026, which ended a run of three consecutive wins. That winning run included a 1-0 victory over Indonesia and a commanding 10-2 win against Solomon Islands in March. Their only other defeat in the five-match run came against Turkey, who won 2-0 in World Cup qualification. Bulgaria scored 14 goals and conceded four across those five fixtures.

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.
