The Poland vs Slovakia Euro 2020 game starts today (Monday, June 14) at 5 p.m. BST / 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT. In the U.S., it's available on ESPN and ABC. In the U.K., you can watch on ITV and the ITV Hub. Full channel details below.
The Poland vs Slovakia live stream marks the beginning of the Group E action at Euro 2020.
Poland and Slovakia have never met each other in a European Championship, nor have they met in the World Cup. But given that only one of their previous eight fixtures has ended in a draw, we can hopefully expect some goals in their first major event meeting.
Poland's Robert Lewandowski is the star of the show; he's by far the sharpest shooter in the group, and is the man Poland will depend on for all of their goals. With that said, Lewandowski has typically struggled for form in big competitions, so fans will be hoping he can find his rhythm early on. Interestingly, this match probably represents the easiest tie of Group E for both teams, with Spain and Sweden as the remaining, more challenging fixtures.

Slovakia, though certainly not high on anyone's list of potential winners, do have the hulking presence of Milan Skriniar. Skriniar is a recent Serie A title winner with Inter Milan, and one of Antonio Conte's most dependable defenders. Slovakia will be hoping that Skriniar can neutralize the threat from Lewandowski, plus capitalize on any of the striker's lack of form early on.
And depending on what version of Marek Hamsik turns up for the game, the midfielder is Slovakia's main danger man, and will be relied upon to breach Poland's back line. As ever, Hamsik remains an elusive character, and is one that either brings bundles of energy to a game or fades into the background. Slovakia fans will be hoping for the former.
