When Italy play
- Italy v France: Thursday 12 November, 20:45 Italian time, at San Siro.
- Belgium v Italy: Sunday 15 November, 20:45 Italian time, in Brussels.
They are the last two matchdays of the Nations League group stage, which plays the third and final of its windows in November: 52 matches in six days, between 8 and 10 a day. The first two windows fell back to back, at the end of September and the start of October, which is why that break lasted 18 days and this one lasts 11.
