England head into Tuesday’s Group D clash at Adelaide's Coppers Stadium having won their opening two games without conceding a goal and knowing that if they avoid defeat to China they will reach the last 16. They should be full of confidence but it’s been far from plain sailing for Sarina Wiegman’s side. Having looked nervy in the 1-0 win over Haiti, they secured a deserved 1-0 win over Denmark thanks to a stunning strike from Lauren James but suffered a major blow when influential midfielder Keira Walsh was stretchered off with a knee injury.
The Barcelona player, 26, is still having her injury assessed and could appear in the knockout stages, but it’s another piece of misfortune after England entered the tournament without captain Leah Williamson, forward Beth Mead and attacking midfielder Fran Kirby.
China, meanwhile, know that to have any chance of advancing past the group stage they will have to beat England. The Steel Roses were the dominant side in women’s football in the 1990s and did beat the Lionesses when they last met in 2015. However, they are currently 14th in the world rankings and have a relatively inexperienced squad.
Shui Qingxia’s side started the tournament with a 1-0 defeat to Denmark but showed in the slender 1-0 win over Haiti, where they played for 70 minutes with 10 players after midfielder Zhang Rui was sent off, that there is plenty of grit and talent in the side.
It’s all to play for in the England vs China live stream, and we’ll show you how to watch this Women’s World Cup 2023 game online from anywhere and for free down below. Our guide has all the info you need to stream every single match.
How to watch England vs China anywhere
England vs China live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?
The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.
Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN 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 a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX or another service and watch the game.
