Is Northern Ireland v Germany on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup qualifier for free

Northern Ireland host Germany in a crunch World Cup qualifier at Windsor Park, with their hopes of reaching next summer’s tournament finals very much still alive.

A 2-0 win over Slovakia on Friday night was priceless for Michael O’Neil’s side, and means Northern Ireland are on six points and in a three-way tie for top spot in Group A at the halfway stage, with Luxembourg on zero points.

Northern Ireland will be underdogs against Germany - having lost their last 10 fixtures against the four-time world champions and following a 3-1 defeat in Cologne in September.

And the loss of right back Conor Bradley, sensational in the win over Slovakia, due to the Liverpool man picking up a yellow card suspension comes as a cruel blow ahead of a crucial test.
