Today's Spain vs Italy live stream serves up one of the most hotly anticipated games of the Euro 2024 group stage. While previous false dawns have taught us not to get too carried away by La Roja's impressive start, reigning champions Italy will be wary of the pace and trickery of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal — you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!
The Spain vs Italy live stream will take place today (Thursday, June 20).
• Time: 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 5 a.m. AEST (Jun. 21)
• WATCH FREE — ITVX (U.K.)
• U.S. — Watch on FOX via Sling
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
The dynamism on display throughout Spain's 3-0 hammering of Croatia has provided cause for optimism that Luis de la Fuente has broken with the past. Gone is the tribute act to the days of yore, this team is set up to entertain. Italy, though far from convincing against Albania, showed classic aptitude for game management by closing ranks after taking the lead courtesy of Nicolo Barella's volley.
Albania's draw with Croatia yesterday means that whoever comes out on top here will seal their place in the Euro 2024 knockouts as Group B winners. A draw, on the other hand, would set up an extremely nervy final round of fixtures.
Line ups:
Spain XI: Simon, Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella, Gonzalez, Rodri, Fabian, Yamal, Morata, Williams.
Italy XI: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bastoni, Calafiori, Dimarco, Frattesi, Jorginho, Barella, Chiesa, Scamacca, Pellegrini.

How to watch Spain vs Italy from anywhere
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 Spain vs Italy live online.
