The Wales vs Switzerland Euro 2020 game starts today (Saturday, June 12) at 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m PT. In the U.S., it's available on ESPN. In the U.K., you can watch on BBC. Full channel details below.
The Wales vs Switzerland live stream is on now. And this match has a lot to live up to, following yesterday's fantastic Euro 2020 opening game between Italy and Turkey.
Italy were comfortable 3-0 winners there, and both Wales and Switzerland fans will be hoping they can pull off a similarly one-sided victory.
Wales will look to the stars of their incredible Euro 2016 run to recapture that magic. But Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey are now five years older, and neither has enjoyed a trouble-free time since then, with Ramsey suffering repeated injuries and Bale a loss of form.
But while few people think the Welsh can repeat their 2016 semi-final run, they do have a promising crop of young players coming through the ranks: Daniel James, Joe Rodon, Ethan Ampadu and Neco Williams are all 23 or under and all are likely starters.

The Swiss, in contrast, are a settled side who have been together for a long time. Xherdan Shaqiri remains a mercurial talent — albeit one who spent much of the domestic season on the bench at Liverpool — while Granit Xhaka is a quality option in midfield. Up front, they'll be looking to the fans' favorite Breel Embolo and the free-scoring Haris Seferovic.
With Italy having triumphed so comprehensively yesterday, both sides will be looking at this encounter as a must-win game — which should make for an open encounter. It all kicks off today (Saturday, June 12) at 2 p.m. BST (9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT), and you can watch it all live, for free, wherever you are.
