Italy vs England live stream and how to watch UEFA Nations League game online

It's time to watch the Italy vs England live stream — and it's a must-win match for the Three Lions. They face the prospect of being relegated from their UEFA Nations League division — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

The euphoria that came in the wake of winning last summer's Euro 2020 tournament hasn’t lasted long for the Italian national team, after they failed to qualify for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The Champions of Europe were knocked out in the qualifiers by North Macedonia back in March in a result that still stings even six months later.

Italy’s performances in this year’s iteration of the Nations League tournament haven’t raised the spirits much either. The Azzurri sit third in the table, having only managed a single win over Hungary alongside two draws, but at least that’s a better record than England, who are at the foot of Group 3 without a win to their name. 

The Three Lions qualified for the World Cup with ease, but in the Nations League have endured a tough campaign and will be relegated to League B unless they can muster a victory in either this game or their match against Germany on Sunday (September 25). 

Adding further drama to this fixture is the fact that England are still looking for revenge after losing to Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 final, but the last time these side met the result was a goalless draw.  

Of course, Gareth Southgate has more pressing concerns than getting even with Italy now. England’s last international fixture was a humiliating 4-0 defeat to Hungary on home turf. A result is badly needed to boost confidence levels as the World Cup tournament in Qatar draws ever closer. 

Can Italy pile more misery on the Three Lions, or will England get back to winning ways ahead of the World Cup? Find out by watching an Italy vs England live stream, and we’ll show you how to do so below.
