The Spain vs France live stream is a seriously exciting Euro 2024 semi-final — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

Spain vs France live stream, date, time and channels

As it stands, Spain have been the best team at Euro 2024. La Roja cruised through Group B winning all three games without conceding a single goal. They dismantled Georgia in the Round of 16, which set up a thrilling quarter-final against host nation Germany that looked to be heading toward penalties before a last-minute extra-time winner from Mikel Merino won the game for Spain. Right now, Spain are the clear favorites to win the whole tournament and look dangerous in every single attack. 

However, France shouldn’t be written off so easily. While Les Bleus have underwhelmed at Euro 2024 so far (finishing runner-up in Group D, and limping through both the Ro16 and QFs), this French team is so stacked with quality players that it’s hard to believe they won’t find an extra gear from somewhere. Although, remarkably France have made it to the semi-finals without scoring a goal from open play. They really will need to step up their game fast if they are to progress further. 

The Spain vs France live stream could be a European Championship classic. There’s a place in the final at stake, and both these world-class teams will be desperate to keep their tournament going all the way to the end. Don’t miss this Euro 2024 semi-final clash, and we've all the details you need to watch from anywhere down below.

How to watch Spain vs France 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 country, 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 Spain vs France live online.
