Where Hungary stand now

Current situation

Hungary 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.

Our readingThe useful question is how to make an attack less dependent on the captain receiving under pressure. An inside receiver, a wide outlet and a pass behind the ball can share the work. Recent goals from a wide defender, a forward and a centre-back show different finishing routes; they do not establish a permanent November lineup.

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.

Hungary's 2026 checkpoint

7 POINTS

Two wins, one draw and one defeat.

3–2

Goals scored and conceded over four league games.

2 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 watchlist

Can 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 explainer
Hungary tactical relationships: six named players, three editorial scenariosATTACK ↑M. TóthKerkezLukácsSzoboszlaiSchäferOrbán
Selected idea

Help 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.

Named editorial relationships, not an official November formation.

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 XI
The captain and connecting reference

Dominik 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.

The recent wide scoring route

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.

A forward with current scoring evidence

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.

The decisive late contribution

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.

The recent goalkeeper

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.

The connection behind the first pass

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 choices

The 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.

Two group matches, four possible places

No aggregate tie and no automatic Euro berth
14 November

Keep the race in Hungary’s hands

Georgia away, at 18:00 CET or 21:00 in Tbilisi. A win would keep the two-win path to first place open before the home finale.

17 November

Meet the current leaders

Northern Ireland at the Puskás Aréna, 20:45 CET. This is the sixth league-phase match, not a quarter-final return leg.

What time is Georgia vs. Hungary in Tbilisi?

The listed 18:00 CET kickoff is 21:00 in Tbilisi on 14 November. CET is UTC+1; Georgia uses UTC+4. It is not an 18:00 local kickoff in Georgia.

Second with seven points, one behind Northern Ireland. Ukraine have four points and Georgia two, with two matches left for each team.

Can Hungary still win the group?

Yes. Two wins would take Hungary to 13 points, above every rival’s possible total if Hungary win both remaining games. Other outcomes depend on the rival results and official tie-break rules.

What does first or second place mean?

The League B group winner is promoted to League A. The runner-up enters the League A/B playoffs. Neither outcome is automatic Euro qualification.

What happens to third and fourth in League B?

Under UEFA’s published 2026/27 format, third place remains in League B and fourth enters the League B/C playoffs. These are the rules for this edition, not a copied older format.

Who is Hungary’s current head coach?

Marco Rossi, identified in MLSZ’s October match reports.

Will Szoboszlai play in November?

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.

Kerkez scored against Georgia; Milán Tóth and Márk Csinger scored against Ukraine.

Where can I watch Hungary’s next match?

Check MLSZ and authorised broadcaster listings for coverage in your country.

Did Hungary qualify for the 2026 World Cup?

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

How many World Cups have Hungary won?

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.
