After already two games in the Ligue des Nations 2026-2027 against Turkey and then Belgium, the Blues return to the Stade de France for their third encounter. The équipe de France faces l’Italie on Friday, 2 October 2026 at 8:45 PM, in Saint-Denis, on the 3rd matchday of Group A1.
This clash against the Nazionale kicks off a run of two straight home fixtures for the men of Zinedine Zidane, who will then host Belgium on Monday, October 5, again at the Stade de France. A new chapter thus opens for Zinédine Zidane with the France national team.
Twenty years after leaving Les Bleus as a player, the former number 10 re joins the national team in a very different role, this time from the bench. This tournament marks the start of a new era for the France team, with already a lot of attention on the choices, the system, and the signs of the Zidane method.
Several venues in Paris have announced the broadcast of France-Italy on the big screen. Fans can thus head to sports pubs, to the capital's bars and restaurants, but also to some terraces and rooftops to cheer the Blues outdoors.
While most of these festive venues require advance booking, other supporter spaces are betting on the 'no reservation' model, in a “first come, first served” spirit. So, here’s a selection of places to watch the France-Italy match, on October 2, 2026 at 8:45 PM, in Paris without a reservation!
