EURO 2024 is underway, with some titans clashing this week. You can watch all of the matches of the UEFA tournament if you have the right broadcast or streaming subscriptions. If you don’t, fret not. There are still ways to watch all of the European soccer games for free—you just have to pay for a VPN service. If you’re a soccer fan, make sure also to catch all of the Copa America matches happening at the same time as the EURO 2024.
What is EURO 2024?
The UEFA EURO 2024 is an international soccer tournament that happens every four years. This year the tournament is held in Germany. The 2022 champions, Italy, will try to hold their position against another 23 European men’s national teams.
The tournament starts with group stages, then it will go into the round of 16 from June 29 to July 2, followed by the quarterfinals on July 5 and 6, the semifinal matches on July 9 and 10, and the Euro 2024 final will be played on July 14.
How to watch Euro 2024 for free
Many parts of the world, mainly in Europe, stream the games for free on certain websites. But unless you live there, you’ll have geo-restrictions from watching the matches. Here are some free streaming platforms that are covering EURO 2024, according to Mashable:
Norway — NRK
Netherlands — NOS
Spain — RTVE
UK — BBC iPlayer and ITVX
The broadcasts will be in the language of each respective country, so if you’re looking for coverage in English, try the UK ones. ITVX, in particular, was easy to navigate and stream the match. All you need to do is register with an email, choose any UK postal code, and start streaming. Of course, you’ll be geo-restricted from watching the game since you’re not in the UK, but that’s where using a VPN comes in handy.
Express VPN is our favorite VPN for bypassing geo-blocking restrictions. It will run you $12.95 per month, $9.99 per month for six months, or they also offer an annual plan for $8.32. You can see our comparison of ExpressVPN with NordVPN (another top VPN provider) here. Once you have ExpressVPN, open the app and connect to the server from the UK, open ITVX on the same device, and you’ll be able to watch the EURO matches for free.
