Belgium vs Wales live stream: How to watch the World Cup 2022 qualifier online

After qualifying for the delayed Euro 2020 tournament, Wales will have their sights set on World Cup qualification. A tough test stands in their way in Belgium. Don't miss a moment with our Belgium vs Wales live stream guide.

According to FIFA's world rankings, Belgium are the best national team in the world right now so Wales will have to be at the top of their game to get anything from this Group E clash in Leuven.

The Dragons will come into today's game brimming with confidence, though, after qualifying for their first major tournament in the postponed Euro 2020 (set to take place this summer) and promotion in the UEFA Nations League. Caretaker manager Rob Page's side are also coming into today's game off the back of an unbeaten run of five international games.

The Red Devils will still expect to win today's game with 17 places between the two sides in the FIFA rankings. Belgium are top of FIFA's global rankings thanks to their consistent performances, losing just three games in their last 50.

Roberto Matinez's side will need to remain switched on during today's game, though, as he and his players will be well aware of their last meeting with Wales at Euro 2016 which ended in a 3-1 quarter-final defeat.
