Norway v Northern Ireland live stream, Thursday 7 July, 8.00pm
Looking for a Norway v Northern Ireland live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Northern Ireland’s women begin their maiden major tournament with a daunting clash against Group A rivals Norway on Thursday.
Two-time European champions Norway are among the contenders to clinch the trophy this summer, and they will be eager to get off to a good start at St. Mary’s.
The Norwegians also have a bit of a point to prove after a disastrous campaign at Euro 2017, when they lost all three group games to crash out early.
But they head to the Euros in flying form, having won five games in a row in the build-up, and will fancy their chances of progressing in a group featuring hosts England, who they face next, as well as Northern Ireland and Austria.
Star striker and Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg is back in the fold, and all eyes will be on the Women’s Champions League’s all-time top scorer.
Kenny Shiels’ side head into the tournament as big underdogs and are well aware of the strength of the Norwegians, having shared a qualifying group with them.
Both of their qualifiers ended in 6-0 wins for Norway, in August and November 2019.
And the Northern Irish are in poor form ahead of the clash in Southampton, having lost four games in a row prior to the Euros.
Kick-off is at 8.00pm BST on Thursday 7 July and it is being shown by BBC One in the UK. See below for international broadcast options.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Euro 2022 football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Euro 2022 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’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action 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.
