Poland’s November 2026 international sports calendar starts on the ice in Sosnowiec and picks up again in the middle of the month with senior men’s football and women’s basketball. The key dates for this guide are November 5–7, November 14 and November 17. If you follow more than one national team, keep the basketball and football listings separate in your calendar. They share dates, but they are different competitions with separate broadcast schedules, venues and ticketing arrangements. This guide uses schedules available on November 3, 2026.
November 5–7: Poland ice hockey in Sosnowiec
Poland’s men’s ice hockey team opens the Sosnowiec Cup against Ukraine on Thursday, November 5, meets Italy on Friday, November 6, and finishes against Great Britain on Saturday, November 7. The Polish Ice Hockey Federation lists the tournament as part of the IIHF European Cup of Nations and names the Winter Stadium at ArcelorMittal Park in Sosnowiec as the venue. For spectators, that means three chances to see Poland at the same rink on consecutive days. Polish Ice Hockey Federation tournament announcement
If you are choosing a single session, start with the opponent and date you want, then confirm the match time and ticket terms. A tournament schedule may list multiple games in the same building on one day, and a ticket listing might refer to one game or a longer session. Save the official listing alongside your ticket confirmation so you can tell which entrance and session apply. If you are coming from another city, check the trip back from the rink before you commit, especially for an evening game.
For a first-time hockey viewer, start by watching the changes between groups of players. A team can change skaters during play, and the timing of those changes can leave one team attacking while the other tries to reorganize. During a penalty, pay attention to how the team with more skaters moves the puck to create a better shooting angle. Those patterns are easier to follow live than tracking every individual touch.
November 14 and 17: UEFA Nations League football
The senior men’s football team visits Romania on Saturday, November 14, and hosts Sweden on Tuesday, November 17. These are Poland’s final two matches in the league phase of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Wrocław’s city website lists Tarczyński Arena as the venue for the home game against Sweden. Use the official match listing to confirm the venue and kickoff before buying tickets or planning an evening around either game.

Check the group standings again after the Romania match. The points available in the final game are fixed, but what Poland needs from the Sweden match depends on the results in the group. Read the competition’s rules before relying on a claim about promotion or a tiebreak. On the pitch, one thing to watch is how Poland responds after losing possession. Notice whether nearby players press immediately or retreat to protect the middle. This can help explain how the opponent creates its chances even in a match with few shots.
November 14 and 17: Women’s EuroBasket qualifiers
Poland visits Montenegro on November 14 and hosts Türkiye on November 17 in the qualifying competition for FIBA Women’s EuroBasket 2027. Both games fall on the same dates as the senior men’s football fixtures. FIBA’s competition schedule provides the basketball venues and tip-off details, while TVP Sport’s November guide lists both games in its programming. Check the individual game listing to see whether the broadcast starts at tip-off or includes a studio segment. FIBA’s November qualifier schedule TVP Sport’s November listings
In basketball, look at what happens after a missed shot. An offensive rebound can turn a good defensive possession into another scoring opportunity, while a clean defensive rebound can start a quick attack. If you are catching up later, the score by quarter and the turnover and rebounding totals give you a starting point for understanding how a lead opened or disappeared. Use the game recap or replay to see which possessions produced the swing.
Make a calendar that handles overlaps
Create a separate calendar entry for every match you intend to follow. Give it a title with the sport, opponent and home or away status. Add the official competition link and the venue or channel in the event notes. Set one reminder for the previous evening so you have time to check changes, and another before the start. For away games, check whether the site displays local venue time or automatically converts it to the time zone of your device.
If two games overlap, choose the one you want to watch live and check whether the other has a replay in your country. A channel listing in Poland can help a domestic viewer without establishing what is available abroad. Fans outside Poland should consult the relevant rights holder’s local listings. If you want to avoid spoilers, turn off score alerts before the game and save the replay page in advance. For an in-person match, check the organizer’s ticket instructions and venue access rules separately from the fixture calendar, especially if you plan to arrive after work or depend on a late train home.
