Want to find every single Euro 2020 live stream? You're in the right place.

After a longer wait than usual, the 16th European Championship is finally upon us. England expects, while France, Belgium, Portugal, Germany and Spain all have ambitions of winning Euro 2020 too. 

With 24 teams taking part for the second time at the Euros, there will be 51 games between June 11 and July 11. And the good news is that every single match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom, with the rights split between the BBC and ITV.

Don't worry if you're overseas - you'll be able to watch a Euro 2020 live stream too. We've got all the details in this handy guide.

And if you want to see the full Euro 2020 fixture schedule – plus which UK channel every game is on, we've got you covered too.

Free Euro 2020 live stream

There may not be free Euro 2020 live streams in every corner of the globe (see viewing options further down below), but most participating nations in Europe can watch games on free-to-air television.

People in the UK are very fortunate on this front, with all the games being shared out between national broadcasters BBC and ITV (and their respective iPlayer and ITV hub sites and apps).

Elsewhere the likes of TF1 in France, ARD and ZDF in Germany, Mediaset in Spain and RAI in Italy will be carrying some free coverage throughout Euro 2020.

Use a VPN to watch a Euro 2020 live stream from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for any Euro 2020 fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you still want to catch Harry Kane's in-swinging corners without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
