Belgium vs Slovakia live stream: How to watch Euro 2024 online and for free, team news

The Belgium vs Slovakia live stream will see a strong Red Devils side begin their Euro 2024 tournament as favorites to progress to the knockout stages from Group E — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Belgium vs Slovakia live stream, date, time and channels

The Belgium vs Slovakia live stream takes place today (Monday, June 17).
• Time: 5 p.m. BST / 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT / 2 a.m. AEST (Jun. 18)
• WATCH FREE ITVX (U.K.)

Belgium have plenty of impressive talent at their disposal. Most recognizable is captain Kevin De Bruyne, who comes into the tournament after winning his sixth Premier League title with Man City. Fellow Man City player Jeremy Doku could also have a big tournament, while the likes of Leandro Trossard and Romelu Lukaku will also be important. One extremely talented player who won’t be appearing is Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois. The keeper has been omitted from the Belgium squad after falling out with coach Domenico Tedesco. 

Slovakia arrive in Germany having qualified for their third consecutive European Championship, an achievement worth celebrating. The squad is lacking any truly stand out players, but there’s a solid spine with Newcastle’s Martin Dubravka in goal, PSG's Milan Skriniar leading the defense and Juraj Kucka in midfield. Upfront is a problem area with Robert Bozenik of Portuguese side Boavista most likely to lead the line against Belgium.

Belgium progressed to the quarter-finals of Euro 2020, and their minimum aim will be to replicate the same achievement (if not go a couple of steps further), and getting off a winning start will be key to that effort. Make sure you don’t miss the Belgium vs Slovakia match as you can watch it online, and from anywhere.

How to watch Belgium vs Slovakia from anywhere

If you're not in your home country during Euro 2024 and are unable to live stream a game from wherever you are, you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX and watch Belgium vs Slovakia live online.

Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch Euro 2024 across the Fox network, with select games on Fubo. The Belgium vs Slovakia live stream is on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and the Fox Sports website with a valid login. FS1 may be included in your cable package.

If you've cut the cord and don't have cable, you have plenty of options. Our top pick is Sling TV: the Sling Blue package costs just $45 per month with a discounted first month. It comes with more than 30 channels including FOX (if you have a local Fox Network on Sling) and FS1. 

Fubo is another option. The Pro Plan costs $79 per month but gives you 121 channels, including FOX and FS1, plus lots more for sports fans to enjoy. There will be a small handful of five group-stage games exclusively streaming on Fubo making it the best option if you want to watch every single game of Euro 2024 in the U.S.

If you already use those services but aren't in the U.S. right now, you can watch Euro 2024 live streams by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
