England vs Switzerland is the final game in the Lionesses' 2024 schedule, and you can watch it for free, and from anywhere with a VPN.
The fixture is an international friendly and England boss Sarina Wiegman has said she is going to experiment with the team, even though they face tough opposition from Switzerland, who will also want to round their year off with a win.
The match will be played at Bramall Lane in Sheffield with a kick-off time of 7.45pm GMT / 2.45 ET today, Tuesday, 3 December.
Read on to find out how to watch England vs Switzerland live streams.
What channel is England vs Switzerland on?
In the UK, where the match is taking place, free-to-air national broadcaster ITV has the rights.
TV viewers can watch England vs Switzerland on ITV 4, while the game will also be available online via the streaming platform ITVX. Both options are totally free.
In the US, an England vs Switzerland live stream will be available on Paramount Plus. Unlike ITV, this is a paid-for service, with subscriptions starting at $7.99 a month.
If you're not currently in the UK or the US, you can still watch on your usual provider by using a VPN – more on that below.
How to watch England vs Switzerland from anywhere
ITVX and Paramount Plus are both geo-restricted, meaning you wouldn't ordinarily be able to use them to watch England vs Switzerland from abroad. However, there is a handy solution: a VPN (Virtual Private Network), a piece of software which can make it look like your device is still back at home.
Assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to create a private connection between your device and choice and the internet, meaning the streamer 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 FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar are big fans of NordVPN:
England vs Switzerland preview, team news
Chloe Kelly and Fran Kirby, who both won the Euros in 2022, will both not be available to play in the game. Kelly has concussion and Kirby has a calf injury, both issues were picked up in their 0-0 friendly against USWNT last Friday.
There may also be a rotation in goal for England with Mary Earps and Hannah Hampton competing for the number one shirt. Earps played against the US at Wembley.
Wiegman said: "They are really competing. We have a good goalkeeper group. Mary and Hannah [Hampton] are really close.
"We have these four friendlies – we have played three now – I want to see both of them in games, all the time in training and with their clubs. They will both get opportunities to play."

Switzerland, who in FourFourTwo's view will lose to England as they head into the game following a 6-0 loss to Germany, have a relatively new boss in Pia Sundhage.
She was appointed in January and told the BBC of taking the job: "That kind of feeling when everybody's coming together, that is unique. So it was easy to say 'yes'."
