Czech Republic v Wales live stream, Friday 8 October, 7.45pm BST
Need a Czech Republic v Wales live stream? We've got you covered.
Wales face a momentous moment in their bid to reach next year’s World Cup when they travel to Prague to face the Czech Republic on Friday.
Robert Page’s side are in third place and level on seven points with their second-placed hosts, but the Welsh have a game in hand.
Victory in the Czech capital would therefore put Wales in a strong position, three points clear of their nearest rivals for the play-off spot and with an extra game to come.
Group leaders Belgium are too distant to realistically catch, sitting on top with 16 points from six matches.
But if Page can mastermind a repeat of March’s meeting in Cardiff, when a late Dan James goal earned Wales a 1-0 win, they will be in pole position to take a play-off spot and keep their qualification hopes alive.
They will need to achieve that feat without star man Gareth Bale, though, as the Real Madrid forward is out injured and wasn’t named in the squad for this international break.
It’s a huge blow for Page, who saw Bale score a hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Belarus last month before the 32-year-old damaged his hamstring.
Wales travel to winless bottom side Estonia after their game in Prague, another game they will looking to gain maximum points from.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST on Friday, 8 October, and UK viewers can watch it on Sky Sports Football and S4C. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup qualifiers from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch Steve Bruce’s extra-red face without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
