England vs Italy live stream: How to watch Euro 2024 qualifier online and on TV for free, team news

The England vs Italy live stream is a repeat of the Euro 2020 final. It’s also a significant match for both sides as they look to secure qualification for the Euro 2024 tournament — and you can watch it for FREE from anywhere with a VPN.

England could book their place at next year’s European Championship with a win over Italy. The Three Lions currently top Group C, having not lost any of their five qualifying matches. However, the Azzurri are just three points behind and could make up that gap if they can beat England in their own backyard. England are unbeaten since falling to France at World Cup 2022, but their most recent win over Australia in a friendly was far from convincing. 

Italy are battling with Ukraine for the 2nd place spot in Group C right now, but could still finish top of the group if they can beat England at Wembley Stadium. Italy failed to qualify for the last World Cup, so they're eager to ensure they don’t miss another major international tournament. Plus, as reigning European champions, it would be hugely disappointing if they’re not defending their title in Germany next summer. 

Of course, the most famous recent encounter between these two sides was in the summer of 2021, when the Italians broke English hearts by winning the Euros on penalties. But these sides have met a couple of times since then, including back in March when England emerged victorious thanks to goals from Declan Rice and Harry Kane.

Here's how they line up: 

England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Phillips, Rice, Foden, Bellingham, Rashford, Kane.

Italy: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Scalvini, Acerbi, Udogie, Frattesi, Cristante, Barella, Berardi, Scamacca, El Shaarawy. 

Both sides are desperate to confirm their spot at Euro 2024 which should make this an intense encounter. So, you won’t want to miss the England vs Italy live stream, and we’ve got all the details you need to watch down below online and for free.
