The Italy vs Belgium head-to-head record comes back into focus as the two sides meet in the UEFA Nations League on 25 September 2026. As of 22 September 2026, Italy sit second and Belgium third in Group A of this season’s competition, though neither side has yet played a match in the campaign, so those positions reflect seeding rather than results so far. The figures below cover the sides’ recorded history together with each team’s current international form heading into the fixture.
Head-to-Head Record
Italy and Belgium have met in all 8 recorded meetings between the two nations, stretching from their first encounter on 20 June 1954 to their most recent meeting on 14 November 2024. Italy have won 6 of those meetings, Belgium 1, with 1 draw; Italy have scored 17 goals across that span to Belgium’s 9, an average of 3.25 goals per meeting. This is the recorded history the data holds rather than a claim of every match the two countries have ever played, but it is the fullest picture available.
