Every single Euro 2024 match has been available in the UK live – and for free – on either BBC iPlayer or ITVX. You'll have to make a choice on Sunday evening, however, because both channels will broadcast tomorrow's final. There are numerous other free viewing options available around the world, too – more on those at the end of the article.

Tonight's game is sure to be an intriguing climax to the competition. Spain have been the outstanding team of the tournament, winning all six of their matches so far, and producing some scintillating football along the way. Their opponents will have their work cut out if they're going to keep the attacking talents of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal at bay. England's progress has been less spectacular but they have the look of a team hitting form at the right moment – and, after Jude Bellingham's now-legendary bicycle kick and Ollie Watkins' last-minute winner in the semi-final, they've proved they're more than capable of creating memorable moments.

FourFourTwo has featured live news and reaction from every single fixture at Euro 2024, and that will continue into the final as La Roja and Three Lions squads battle it out to lift the coveted trophy tomorrow night. So read on to plan your best tactics for viewing the big game – and make sure you know how to watch a Euro 2024 live stream, whether you're home or away.

Upcoming Euro 2024 fixtures

Sunday, July 14
Spain vs England (8pm BST, BBC iPlayer/ITVX)

Watch Euro 2024 for FREE in the UK

As is traditionally the case with major international tournaments in the UK, Euro 2024 matches have been shared equally between the BBC and ITV. Games are shown for FREE on the broadcasters' terrestrial TV channels, and their respective BBC iPlayer and ITVX streaming services. 

For the final you'll have a choice of coverage, as both the BBC and ITV will broadcast a Spain vs England live stream on Sunday. ITV will roll out the tried and tested line-up of presenter Mark Pougatch and pundits Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Roy Keane. The BBC, meanwhile, have brought in a last-minute new signing, with former Chelsea, Manchester United and Spain star Juan Mata joining host Gary Lineker, and pundits Micah Richards and Rio Ferdinand.

Coverage on both channels starts at 6.30pm BST, ahead of the 8.00pm kick-off.

Travelling abroad during the tournament? Fans away from home can still watch a Euro 2024 live stream as they would back home. All you need is a quality VPN, such as NordVPN, to watch your usual free stream when overseas. Read on to find out how.

BBC iPlayer and ITVX

BBC iPlayer and ITVX

Euro 2024 is a bonanza for armchair football fans in the UK, with all 51 matches available for FREE on either the BBC or ITV – though you will need a valid TV Licence to tune in, whether you're watching via traditional broadcast channels or online.

Streaming services BBC iPlayer and ITVX are available on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, games consoles and through a web browser on your computer. 

If you're a British resident travelling outside the UK, geoblocking restrictions mean you won't be able to access iPlayer and ITVX as you would back home. This doesn't have to be a problem, however, if you use a VPN to access your usual streaming services. 

Use a VPN to watch from anywhere

If you’re out of the country for some or all of the Euros, 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 when you know you'd have free access back home, and want to watch the games without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But help is at hand. All you need to do to navigate those geoblocking restrictions is buy yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network) – assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course. 

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 also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, but NordVPN scores particularly highly for Euro 2024:

NordVPN, featuring a 30-day, money-back guarantee

You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
