What channel is Northern Ireland v Switzerland international friendly match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Northern Ireland v Switzerland in the international friendly, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
Northern Ireland return to the international stage for the first time in 2025 on Friday evening as they host Switzerland in a friendly at Belfast's Windsor Park.
There is plenty of optimism surrounding Michael O'Neill's young squad after they topped their Nations League group and were promoted to the competition's second tier last year.
O'Neill has made the most of the fact that Northern Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign doesn't get under way until the autumn, after they were drawn in a four-team group, by reiterating his commitment to the next generation and leaving out veteran striker Josh Magennis.
Switzerland will arrive in Belfast on the back of a disappointing end to last year. A quarter-final exit at the hands of England represented a decent return at Euro 2024, but that was followed by relegation from the top tier of the Nations League after finishing bottom of Group A4 with just two points.
The Swiss still boast a squad dominated by talent from Europe's top leagues and, alongside the trip to face Sweden in Stockholm to come on Monday evening, will provide Northern Ireland's rising stars with a fantastic opportunity to test themselves against some quality opposition.
