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

The Poland and Netherlands international football team badges on top of a photo of the Euro 2024 trophy and match ball.

The Poland vs Netherlands live stream promises to be a competitive affair in Group D as the sides meet in Hamburg. They are in a tricky group so an early win could prove crucial – and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Poland vs Netherlands live stream, date, time and channels

The Poland vs Netherlands live stream will take place today (June 16).
• Time: 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 11 p.m. AEST
• FREE STREAM BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• U.S. — Watch on Fox Sports 1 via Sling
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

The Eagles have now qualified for five consecutive European Championships but needed penalties to win a dramatic playoff with Wales and make it to Euro 2024. However, in a massive blow to their chances, they do not have star striker Robert Lewandowski available due to hamstring trouble.

The Dutch are always a team to watch at major tournaments. Boss Ronald Koeman has had to call up Joshua Zirkzee and Ian Maatsen into the squad in recent days to replace the injured Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners. It is a squad that is a good mix of relative youngsters, such as Spurs center-back Mickey van de Ven, and experience like Virgil van Dijk and Daley Blind.

Both these sides know that World Cup finalists France and an in-form Austria await them in their other group matches, so a good start is the name of the game here.

Here's how they line up:

Poland: Szczesny, Bednarek, Salamon, Kiwior, Frankowski, Zielinski, Romanczuk, Zalewski, Urbanski, Szymanski, Buksa

Netherlands: Verbruggen, Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake, Schouten, Reijnders, Veerman, Simons, Depay, Gakpo

How to watch Poland vs Netherlands 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 BBC iPlayer and watch Poland vs Netherlands live online.

Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch Euro 2024 across the Fox network, with select games on Fubo. Poland vs Netherlands is on Fox Sports 1 (FS1).  The knockout rounds will air on FOX. These channels may be accessible as part of your cable package or with one of our best TV antenna picks.  

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.
