Sky Sports will show 6 European Qualifiers live wiin one week

Sky Sports is the only place to watch as the Road to France 2016 continues with Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all vying to qualify for the European Championship.

In total, viewers will be able to follow their teams in 26 live matches, featuring big names like Wales' Gareth Bale as well as Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden), Arjen Robben (Netherlands) or Mesut Ozil (Germany).

Gary Hughes, Sky Sports Head of Football, said: We are almost half-way through the Qualifiers, and all the Home Nations have given themselves a good chance to qualify. We are very excited to be the only place where fans can follow their teams and their favourite players through the whole journey to France 2016 live.

Wales head into a tough game against group-leading Israel on 28 March. After delighting their fans with a draw against Belgium, who are placed fourth in the FIFA world ranking, Coleman's side could take over the top spot in Group B with a victory at Haifa's International Stadium. Ex-Wales International Mark Bowen and Wales' injured centre-back James Chester will share their insight from 4.30pm on Sky Sports 5.

Scotland and the Republic of Ireland face tough competition in Group D. Both sit on seven points, which puts them behind unbeaten Poland and current World Champions Germany. Scotland will be keen to avoid an upset against Gibraltar (current goal difference: -21), whereas Ireland are expecting a close encounter with Poland. Sky Sports will broadcast both games on Sunday, 29 March, starting with Scotland's game at 4.30pm on Sky Sports 1 followed by the encounter between the Republic of Ireland and Poland from 7.30pm on Sky Sports 5. Niall Quinn and Neil McCann will be studio guests for our live coverage.

Former Northern Ireland stars Nigel Worthington and Iain Dowie will be studio guests for Northern Ireland's match against Finland at Belfast's Windsor Park on 29 March at 4.30pm on Sky Sports 5. They've had a good start in the campaign, with three wins from their first three games but are now looking to bounce back from their defeat to Romania the last time out.

In addition to matches featuring the Home Nations, Sky Sports will broadcast a further 22 European Qualifiers matches from 28 March until 31 March as well as the international friendly between Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday, 25 March at 7.30pm on Sky Sports 1 and 5.
