Wales’ fixtures had also been part of that deal, and they are now being shown by S4C and BBC iPlayer.Scotland v Poland will air live at 19:30 on ITV4 and ITVX on Thursday 5th September, while Portugal v Scotland will air live at 19:30 on ITV4 and ITVX on Sunday 8th September.Northern Ireland v Luxembourg will be live at 19:30 on ITV3 and ITVX on Thursday 5th September, and Bulgaria v Northern Ireland will air live on ITVX on Sunday 8th September.Niall Sloane, ITV director of Sport, said: “We are delighted to air the Men’s Scotland and Northern Ireland national team’s upcoming Nations League fixtures.
