The last eight teams are now confirmed. This guide explains how to watch Euro 2024 live streams when the quarter-finals kick off on Friday – including details of how you can use a VPN to follow every game if you're away from home.

UK fans can watch every single Euro 2024 match live – and for free – on either BBC iPlayer or ITVX. There are numerous other free options available around the world, too – more on those at the end of the article.

Of course, FourFourTwo will have all the live news and reaction from every single fixture at Euro 2024, as the best players and squads battle it out to lift the coveted trophy in Berlin. So read on to plan your best tactics for viewing the tournament – and make sure you know how to watch a Euro 2024 live stream, whether you're home or away.

Upcoming Euro 2024 fixtures

Friday, July 5
Spain vs Germany (5pm BST, ITVX)
Portugal vs France (8pm BST, BBC iPlayer)

Saturday, July 6
England vs Switzerland (5pm BST, BBC iPlayer)
Netherlands vs Turkey (8pm BST, ITVX)

Watch Euro 2024 for FREE in the UK

As is traditionally the case with major international tournaments in the UK, Euro 2024 matches will be shared equally between the BBC and ITV. Games will be shown for FREE on the broadcasters' terrestrial TV channels, and their respective BBC iPlayer and ITVX streaming services. 

The quarter-finals are being shared equally between the two broadcasters. The BBC hosts England's last-eight tie against Switzerland, and Portugal vs France. ITV will be your destination for Friday's clash between (arguably) the tournament's two best sides so far, Spain vs Germany, followed by Netherlands vs Turkey on Saturday. 

Travelling abroad during the tournament? Fans away from home can still watch a Euro 2024 live stream as they would back home. All you need is a quality VPN, such as NordVPN, to watch your usual free stream when overseas. Read on to find out how.

Use a VPN to watch from anywhere

If you’re out of the country for some or all of the Euros, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal when you know you'd have free access back home, and want to watch the games without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

But help is at hand. All you need to do to navigate those geoblocking restrictions is buy yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network) – assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course. 

A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, but NordVPN scores particularly highly for Euro 2024:
