Union Saint-Gilloise embarks on its latest European adventure, aiming to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League play-offs. To advance in Europe’s most esteemed continental competition, the Brussels squad must overcome a formidable challenge in the third preliminary round against Bodø/Glimt.

Having made their Champions League debut last season, the Unionists are driven to reclaim their position among Europe’s elite football clubs. However, the task ahead is significant, as the Norwegian side proved to be a major revelation in the previous European campaign, reaching the round of 16 in the 2025-2026 Champions League.

The first leg of this crucial encounter will take place in Belgium, where Union Saint-Gilloise will need to establish a strong advantage before a particularly challenging away fixture in the far north of Norway. Playing beyond the Arctic Circle, amidst unique conditions and an intense atmosphere, the Saint-Gillois understand that a substantial part of their European future could hinge on their performance in this opening match.

Supporters will have the opportunity to watch both legs of this thrilling confrontation live on RTL Club and RTL Play. The first leg is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4th, starting at 7:45 PM, featuring commentary from Vincenzo Ciuro and Silvio Proto, with Anne Ruwet providing pitch-side interviews.

The return leg will be broadcast on Tuesday, August 11th, commencing at 5:55 PM, also available on RTL Club and RTL Play.
