Today's game between Ukraine and Hungary will kick off at Oct 5, 2026, 2:45 PM.
Ukraine vs Hungary is available to watch live in the United States. TV channel and live stream options are listed below.
Ukraine host Hungary at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium in Trnava in UEFA Nations League B Group 2, with both sides arriving at this fixture from very different positions in the standings.
Andrea Maldera's Ukraine sit second in the group after a mixed opening run that included a win over Hungary on Matchday 1, a draw with Georgia, and a heavy 3-0 defeat to Northern Ireland on Matchday 3. They have shown defensive resilience at times but will need more consistency to push for the top spot.
Marco Rossi's Hungary arrive in Trnava having steadied somewhat after their opening defeat to Ukraine. A goalless draw with Northern Ireland was followed by a 1-0 win over Georgia, leaving them third in the group and still in contention.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains the standout attacking threat for Georgia elsewhere in the group, but it is the direct contest between these two sides that now carries real weight in determining who controls Group 2 as the competition progresses.
With Northern Ireland sitting top and the group tightly packed, neither Ukraine nor Hungary can afford to drop points here. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the game live.
