Is Poland vs Wales on TV today? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Nations League fixture

Poland will host Wales in the first round of Nations League fixtures on Wednesday, but a story surrounding the summer transfer window has overshadowed proceedings.

At Poland’s pre-match press conference, Robert Lewandowski confirmed he wants to leave Bayern Munich despite being contracted until 2023, with the rumour mill suggesting that the striker could be heading to Barcelona this summer.

“My story at Bayern is over. After everything that has happened in recent months, I cannot imagine further good cooperation,” Poland captain Lewandowski said. “Bayern is a serious club and I hope they will not keep me just because they can. A transfer is the best solution for all parties.”

The Poland team will hope that their star player is able to focus on the game at hand, in any case.
