How to Watch Hungary vs. Portugal on TV, Live Stream: 2026 World Cup Qualifier

Cristiano Ronaldo has typically been in the right place at the right time throughout his illustrious career, and the all-time great’s sense of timing came to the fore again on Saturday night.

Ronaldo found the back of the net in the 21st minute against Armenia to double Portugal’s lead after João Félix opened the scoring. 21, of course, was the number Diogo Jota donned for the national team.

It was a poignant but successful start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, with fixture number two for the month upcoming in Budapest. A stubborn Hungary outfit are bound to put up more resistance than the Armenians, but never before have they triumphed over the Iberian nation.

Moreover, Marco Rossi is attempting to guide a Dominik Szoboszlai-inspired side to their first World Cup finals since 1990. Portugal are the heavy favourites to advance to next summer’s tournament automatically from Group F, especially after Hungary were pegged back late by the Republic of Ireland on Matchday 1.

Here’s how to watch Portugal’s qualifer in the Hungarian capital.
