Switzerland finished second in Group A and came within seconds of claiming top spot ahead of Germany. Murat Yakin's side beat Hungary on matchday one, before draws with Scotland and the host nation.

Italy needed a last-gasp goal to rescue a point against Croatia in their last outing. That strike from Mattia Zaccagni sent the Azzurri through to the round of 16 as Group B runners-up, setting up this clash with Switzerland.

Kick-off is at 5pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch Euro 2024 wherever you are.

How to watch Switzerland vs Italy for FREE in the UK

Use a VPN to watch FREE from anywhere

Switzerland vs Italy is free on BBC One/BBC iPlayer for viewers in the UK. Outside the UK? No problem. If you're travelling overseas and want to tune into BBC iPlayer as you would back home, you can use a VPN so that you don't get blocked by the broadcaster.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there but, for Euro 2024, FourFourTwo recommends:

NordVPN is basically a tap-in:

1. Install it: NordVPN

2. Fire it up and choose your service. So, if you want to watch a UK streaming service, choose the UK server.

3. Enjoy the game. Open up BBC iPlayer and watch the stream.

Switzerland vs Italy team news

Silvan Widmer is the one absent member of the Switzerland squad, with Leonidas Stergiou in line to replace the suspended wing-back.

Breel Embolo should get the nod ahead of Xherdan Shaqiri and Kwadwo Duah up front.

Luciano Spalletti will need to replace the banned Riccardo Calafiori with another centre-back in the Italy squad.

Gianluca Mancini is the most likely replacement, while Spalletti may shift back to the 4-3-3 formation he used in Italy's first two games.
