The Netherlands vs Czech Republic Euro 2020 game starts today (Sunday, June 27) at 5 p.m. BST / 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.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 Netherlands vs Czech Republic live stream is the first of Sunday's Euro 2020 Round of 16 games, and it'll decide who plays Denmark in the quarter-finals next Saturday.
That's because Denmark are already through, having dispatched Wales 4-0 yesterday (June 26) with a sparkling performance in which they dominated throughout.
Both the Netherlands and Czech Republic will be confident of joining them after successful Euro 2020 Group stages. Netherlands, in particular, were hugely impressive in their first major tournament in 17 years, winning all three of their games and scoring eight goals in the process.

They make just one change for today's game, with Marten De Roon, who missed the last match, returning in place of Ryan Gravenberch. Theirs is a well balanced team, with young talents such as Frenkie de Jong and Denzel Dumfries dovetailing with the more experienced likes of Georginio Wijnaldum and Daley Blind. The irrepressible Memphis Depay will lead the line and will look to add to his tally of 2 goals and 2 assists so far.
The Czech Republic have their own young star in the form of Patrik Schick, who hit two superb goals in the group game with Scotland and another against Croatia. Behind him, the likes of Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Darida will be looking to boss the midfield. They make three changes for today's match, with Pavel Kaderabek, Antonin Barak and Petr Sevcik all coming in. Captain Vladimir Darida is one of those missing.
Netherlands: Stekelenburg; De Vrij, De Light, Blind; Dumfries, De Jong, De Roon, Van Aanholt; Wijnaldum; Malen, Depay
Czech Republic: Vaclik; Coufal, Celustka, Kalas, Kadarabek; Holes, Soucek; Masupost, Barak, Sevcik; Schick
