Where to watch Nigeria vs. Gabon World Cup playoff today
Here is where to watch the highly anticipated Nigeria vs Gabon 2026 World Cup playoffs scheduled to be played today.
Nigeria’s pursuit of a World Cup spot culminates in a decisive play-off against Gabon. After a challenging campaign in Group C, the Super Eagles secured their place with a crucial late surge, capped by a victory over Benin to claim a top-two finish.
Their opponents, Gabon, had a smoother route to second place in Group F. While they comfortably outpaced third-placed Gambia by 12 points, they narrowly missed out on the top spot to the Ivory Coast by a single point, a disappointment they will be keen to overcome.
The World Cup play-off between Nigeria and Gabon kicks off at 4:00 PM GMT on Thursday, 13 November, at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.
Fans can watch the Nigeria vs Gabon match live on FIFA+, Sporty TV, and DStv Stream. It will also be broadcast live on DStv and GOtv for viewers across Africa.
Nigeria manager Eric Chelle has a near full-strength squad at his disposal. Ademola Lookman returns from suspension to bolster an attack that already features Victor Osimhen and Samuel Chukwueze. The only notable absentee is Ola Aina, who remains sidelined after a lengthy injury layoff.
Gabon, on the other hand, welcome back their captain and talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, following a suspension. However, the Panthers will be missing several key players through injury, including Jim Allevinah, Shavy Babicka, Medwin Biteghe, Michel Mboula, and Junior Noubi Fotso.
