Spain are one of the clear frontrunners to win Euro 2024. While France are the undisputed favorites, Spain can be classed a tier down alongside Germany and Portugal, in this writer’s opinion. This is to say that Spain have an excellent squad, and the big tournament pedigree to suggest they could go all the way. Their results in recent warm-up games have certainly laid down a marker with a 5-0 victory over Andorra and a 5-1 thrashing of Northern Ireland proving that Spain have an impressive amount of firepower at their disposal.
Meanwhile, Croatia are looking to replicate their recent World Cup success at the Euros. They finished runners-up in 2018, and won the third place trophy in 2022, but were eliminated in the round of 16 stage in the last two European Championships. Croatia come into Euro 2024 after a strong qualifying campaign, and a recent friendly win over Portugal displayed their ability to beat the big teams. Don't forget that Euro 2024 could mark the final major tournament for soccer legend Luka Modric, so Croatia will be extra motivated to progress deep into the competition.
Spain vs Croatia is a must-watch Euro 2024 match between two sides that have the experience and ability to go far in this tournament. We’ve got all the details you need to watch this Group B match online and from anywhere down below.

How to watch Spain vs Croatia 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 Spain vs Croatia live online.
