The Italy vs Switzerland Euro 2020 game starts today (Wednesday, June 16) at 8 p.m. BST / 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m PT. In the U.S., it's available on ESPN. In the U.K., you can watch on ITV and the ITV Hub. Full channel details below.
The Italy vs Switzerland live stream is here, and it could see Italy take full control of their Euro 2020 group — or witness Switzerland claim a fighting chance of making it through to the knockout stage.
Italy are undoubtedly Group A favorites after a dominant first match against Turkey, with Roberto Mancini's team scoring 3 and conceding none. Another win here wouldn't guarantee a Group A victory outright, but it would confirm Italy's qualification for the next stage, even before the final group game.

Switzerland, meanwhile, sit on a single point after a late Wales equalizer in their opening match, but could still qualify by taking points off both Italy and Group A rivals Turkey.
So, who's starting for each team? Well the Swiss will be relying on star man Xherdan Shaqiri and captain Granit Xhaka to create the chances they need, but they'll need to get past a fearsome Italian defence including the legends Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci. Here are the full starting line-ups:
Italy: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola, Barella, Jorginho, Locatelli, Berardi, Immobile, Insigne.
Switzerland: Sommer, Elvedi, Schar, Akanji, Mbabu, Freuler, Xhaka, Rodriguez, Shaqiri, Seferovic, Embolo.
