Italy are one victory away from returning to the World Cup, with a decisive playoff final against Bosnia and Herzegovina set for Tuesday.

When is Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Italy?

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET / 11:45 a.m. PT in Zenica, where Italy will try to avoid a third straight tournament absence after missing both 2018 and 2022.

The single-leg format leaves no margin for error. If the match is tied after 90 minutes, extra time and penalties will determine the winner.
