Finland vs Belgium Euro 2020 time, date, channel

The Finland vs Belgium Euro 2020 game starts today (Monday, June 21) at 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT. In the U.S., it's available on ESPN2. In the U.K., you can watch on BBC. Full channel details below.

The Finland vs Belgium live stream is on now, and it's one of two simultaneous Euro 2020 games that will determine who progresses out of Group B — and who goes home early.

Finland need the points more, currently matching Russia on 3 points but sitting behind on goal difference. A win would give Finland the best chance of qualifying for the Ro16, but not only will this mean beating a strong Belgium team, but also relying on a favorable result in the concurrent Russia vs Denmark match.

Belgium may enter the game a bit more relaxed: with two wins from two games and a healthy goal difference, their progression is already assured. A single point would guarantee the group win, though don't expect the B-team; manager Roberto Martínez has already confirmed he'll start the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne, who played a dramatically game-changing substitute role in last week's win over Denmark.

Finland vs Belgium kicks off today (Monday, June 21) at 8 p.m. BST (3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT). The best part? You can watch it anywhere in the world, for free.
