You can watch Italy vs Northern Ireland in the US primarily via Peacock and other official streaming partners, depending on your setup and provider.

Quick Scoop

For viewers in the United States, here are your main options to watch Italy vs Northern Ireland:

  • Peacock (Streaming only) – The match is available as a live stream on Peacock in the US.
  • Spanish‑language/alt streaming (Vix) – Some listings indicate the match is also carried via Vix for US-based viewers, as part of its soccer coverage.
  • Paramount – One major outlet notes the game being shown on Paramount in the US, likely via Paramount+ depending on rights in your area.

Because broadcasters sometimes differ slightly in their listings (and rights can be sublicensed), it’s smart to:

  1. Check Peacock’s live sports/soccer section for the World Cup playoff listing on March 26.
  1. Look in your Paramount+ app under live sports or soccer around the scheduled kickoff time.
  1. If you use Fubo or Vix , search “Italy vs Northern Ireland” in their live events; some guides list Fubo/Vix as carrying the playoff stream in the US.

Kickoff time in the US

Most listings agree on an afternoon US kickoff on Thursday, March 26:

  • Around 3:45 p.m. Eastern
  • Around 2:45 p.m. Central
  • Around 1:45 p.m. Mountain
  • Around 12:45 p.m. Pacific

So, if you’re in the US and just want the simplest route:

Open Peacock on March 26, about 15–20 minutes before a 3:45 p.m. ET kickoff, and look for the Italy vs Northern Ireland World Cup playoff stream.

If you prefer an English-language TV-style stream and already subscribe to services like Paramount+ or Fubo , double‑check their live listings that day, since at least one major sports outlet cites Paramount and another points to Fubo/Vix as US carriers for this playoff.

TL;DR: In the US, start with Peacock as the primary streaming option, with Vix/Fubo and possibly Paramount+ also showing the match depending on your subscription and region.
