Ensuring you've got a reliable international friendlies live stream is of paramount importance, meaning you won't miss a second of the action from any nation across the world.
In between qualifying for major tournaments and the major tournaments themselves, each nation likes to use friendlies to bed new players into the team, get to grips with a new style of play, or simply gain some confidence under their incumbent manager.
Viaplay and Channel 4 currently hold the broadcasting rights for England and European teams, though there are alternative options elsewhere in the world to watch international friendlies. Brit abroad? Use a VPN to watch international friendlies from anywhere.
