Where Hungary stand now
Current situationHungary completed the opening Nations League window with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat: 7 points, 3 goals scored and 2 conceded from four games. Georgia v Hungary is scheduled for 14 November 2026 at 18:00 CET (UTC+1) · 21:00 Tbilisi (UTC+4) in UEFA Nations League · B2.
Northern Ireland have eight points, Hungary seven, Ukraine four and Georgia two. With two games left, Hungary can still decide their own route to first place: winning both would take them to 13 points, while Northern Ireland could finish with no more than 11. This is arithmetic from the published results and fixtures, not a prediction of either match.
There is a practical detail in the last result: Ukraine’s home-designated game was played in Trnava, Slovakia. The November away game is in Tbilisi, with the listed 18:00 CET kickoff translating to 21:00 locally. Naming the city and timezone matters more than simply calling both fixtures “away”.

The next squad is a separate announcement
The completed window establishes results and appearances. November selection, withdrawals and starting roles need fresh confirmation.
Fixtures and scores are checked with UEFA and MLSZ. Match contributors and selection changes are drawn from dated federation reports. Tactical explanations and the two-win scenario are editorial analysis, not statements from Rossi or confirmation of November selection. Tactical judgments are TrophyDrought editorial analysis, not statements from the coaching staff.
The current cycle in three moves
Facts first · interpretation secondHungary's 2026 checkpoint
Two wins, one draw and one defeat.
Goals scored and conceded over four league games.
The final league-phase matches decide the finishing place.
The checkpoints record completed results, goals and clean sheets. They do not rate November’s expected performance or player availability.
League B is a promotion contest, not a direct route to this season’s Nations League Finals. The group winner moves to League A; the runner-up enters the League A/B playoffs. Finishing third means remaining in League B, while fourth brings the League B/C playoffs under the published 2026/27 rules. These outcomes must not be confused with automatic Euro qualification.

Three questions that define the autumn
Editorial watchlistCan Szoboszlai receive with a second option?
A captain attracting pressure needs help before he gets the ball, not only a run after it. Kerkez can represent the wide outlet, a forward the depth and Schäfer the reset. The point is to create an available next pass, not to claim the staff have chosen a particular formation.
Will new contributors keep their place?
Recent goals and earlier call-up changes provide real selection evidence. They do not close the next decision. November requires a new roster and matchday confirmation, especially for players absent from the previous camp.
Can Hungary keep first place in their own hands?
Six more points would produce 13. That would put Hungary above every other Group B2 team’s possible total if Hungary win both remaining games. Any dropped points would bring the other results and official tie-break rules back into the calculation.


How Hungary could connect
Interactive tactical explainerHelp the captain before the ball arrives
Orbán represents the deeper outlet, Szoboszlai the inside connection and the forward the available depth. Lukács and Kerkez provide different receiving lanes, so pressure on one player need not end the attack.
This diagram explains relationships, not a confirmed formation. Player availability, squad selection and roles can change before the match window.
Players who shape the next step
Roles, not a predicted XIDominik Szoboszlai
MLSZ identifies Szoboszlai as captain. The tactical explainer considers support around his receiving lane rather than assuming he must solve every phase alone. November involvement still needs a new selection announcement.
Milos Kerkez
His goal decided the Georgia match. MLSZ reports that a suspension kept him out of the following Ukraine game; that specific absence is not a claim about future eligibility or fitness.
Milán Tóth
Scored his first senior international goal in Trnava. A forward run needs an available pass from midfield; a recent goal is evidence of contribution, not a guaranteed starting role.
Márk Csinger
Scored the winner against Ukraine. The significance is not a licence to send every defender forward: when one player joins an attack, someone else must protect the next turnover.
Balázs Tóth
Appears in the latest federation match report. The earlier team sheet is a useful reference, but it does not confirm November’s goalkeeper or a current medical assessment.
András Schäfer
A recent midfield participant who provides a reference for the deeper passing option in the diagram. The role is editorial; his position and availability are not announced here for November.
The latest evidence is not the next squad
Appearances, withdrawals and new choicesThe completed October games provide a real team-sheet reference and recent contributions. The earlier camp announcement is a different source, showing how the original list changed. Neither is labelled a confirmed November roster.

His November selection and appearance are not confirmed here. He captained the team in the completed autumn games; a past appearance is not a new call-up announcement.
Why did Kerkez miss the Ukraine game?
MLSZ reports that he was suspended for that game after scoring against Georgia. That past absence does not establish November’s availability.
Is Hungary’s November squad confirmed?
No confirmed November list is presented. Earlier camp changes and recent matchday teams are dated evidence, not a new roster.

Where can I watch Hungary’s next match?
Check MLSZ and authorised broadcaster listings for coverage in your country.

Zero. Hungary have never won the senior men’s UEFA European Championship.

Zero. Their World Cup final appearances in 1938 and 1954 both ended as runners-up. Olympic honours are outside this site’s main World Cup/continental-title ranking.
Is the tactical diagram a confirmed lineup?
No. It is an editorial explanation of passing relationships, not a formation announcement or predicted November XI.
