Another international break, eh?

Sure, we don't really need one, but men's club football at the highest level has been paused as players link up with their national teams for yet another round of World Cup qualifiers.

The first round of the European qualifying section is drawing to a conclusion, deciding all of the first 10 automatic qualifiers, while the process in South America, Africa, Asia, North America and Oceania is ongoing.

Here’s a rundown of the remaining best international games on offer this month - including how to watch on TV or live stream. You can also click here to see all of the top football action on TV channels or streaming services in the UK for the rest of this month.


1. Cameroon vs Ivory Coast

What time is kick off? Tuesday 16 November, 19:00 (GMT)
Where is it being played? Japoma Stadium, Douala
TV channel/live stream? Mola TV

One of these African giants will miss out on a place at the World Cup and this qualifier could go a long way to determine who it is. Ivory Coast have a wealth of talent spread across Europe but are notably without Wilfried Zaha.


2. Netherlands vs Norway

What time is kick off? Tuesday 16 November, 19:45 (GMT)
Where is it being played? Stadion Feyenoord Rotterdam
TV channel/live stream? Sky Sports Premier League (UK), ESPN+ (US)

Norway are fighting to get to their first World Cup on the men's side since 1998. They have a great chance to end that lengthy absence, although they must get the better of Netherlands to do it. Erling Haaland has been the star so far, but the prolific striker is missing through injury here.


3. Wales vs Belgium

What time is kick off? Tuesday 16 November, 19:45 (GMT)
Where is it being played? Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff
TV channel/live stream? S4C, Sky Sports Main Event/Football (UK), ESPN2, fubo TV (US)

Wales are not yet out of the running to reach a first World Cup since 1958. A play-off route is not yet sealed though amid competition from Czech Republic and they must take every point they can. The hope is that Belgium will have already qualified before this one and take their foot off the gas.


4. Argentina vs Brazil

Where is it being played? Estadio San Juan Bicentenario, San Juan
TV channel/live stream? Premier Sports 1 (UK), fubo TV (US)

Finish the November international break by taking in arguably the single biggest rivalry in international football. Not much is at stake in terms of the World Cup as both are well on course to qualify automatically from the marathon CONMEBOL section, but bragging rights still always matter.
