Today's Poland vs Austria live stream serves up a must-win game for both teams, each of whom lost their Group D opener. While Austria acquitted themselves well and can consider themselves unfortunate to be propping up the standings, Poland are in danger of going out with a whimper — you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Austria went toe-to-toe with favorites France and very nearly came away with something. Ralf Rangnick has drilled his team brilliantly. They're busy in possession and a nuisance out of it, and could yet go far. Poland, on the other hand, served up their usual drab fare in their 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands, parking 10 men around their own box and tasking Piotr Zielinski with conjuring something from nothing.
The positive news for Polish fans is that Robert Lewandowski has recovered sufficiently enough from a thigh injury to take his place on the bench. The truth is that the 35-year-old would definitely not have been been risked if Poland had won their opener, though even a half-fit Lewandowski could be an upgrade on his striking colleagues.
Line ups:
Poland XI: Szczesny, Bednarek, Dawidowicz, Kiwior, Frankowski, Zielinski, Slisz, Piotrowski, Zalewski, Buksa, Piatek.
Austria XI: Pentz, Posch, Trauner, Lienhart, Mwene, Seiwald, Grillitsch, Laimer, Baumgartner, Sabitzer, Arnautovic.

If you're not in your home country during Euro 2024 and are unable to live stream a game from wherever you are, you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX and watch Poland vs Austria live online.
