Euro 2024: Spain vs Italy live stream: Can you watch for free?

Add as a preferred source on Google

In a rematch of a thrilling Euro 2020 semifinal, Spain and Italy will clash in what is arguably the biggest Euro 2024 group stage match today. Both teams sit on three points after their opening match of the tournament, as Spain rolled to a 3-0 victory over Croatia, while the defending champs erased an early goal from Albania to capture the 2-1 win.

The match starts at 3:00 p.m. ET and will be televised on Fox in the United States. However, if you don’t have cable and want to stream Euro 2024, we have a number of different ways you can watch Spain vs Italy live online for free.

Watch the Spain vs Italy live stream on Fubo

Fubo isn’t the only way to watch a live stream of Spain vs Italy for free (more options below), but it’s our top recommendation. That’s because Fubo has exclusive US English-streaming rights to a couple of remaining Euro 2024 matches, meaning it’s the only way you can watch every single match of the tournament in the United States.

The Fubo free trial lasts for seven days, which means you’ll be able to watch Spain vs Italy (today, Fox), Netherlands vs France (Friday, Fox), Turkey vs Portugal (Saturday, Fox), Switzerland vs Germany (Sunday, Fox), Croatia vs Italy (Monday, Fox), Albania vs Spain (Monday, Fox Sports 1), France vs Poland (Tuesday, Fox), England vs Slovenia (Tuesday, Fox) and other matches before you have to pay anything or cancel your subscription.

Other ways to watch the Spain vs Italy live stream for free

If you’ve already used up your Fubo free trial, you can watch a live stream of Spain vs Italy for free via either YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) and DirecTV Stream (“Entertainment” plan or above). They both include Fox (live in most markets) and come with a free five-day trial.

Watch the Spain vs Italy live stream on Sling TV

This option won’t be for everyone, as Sling TV only has Fox available live in a couple of markets. However, if you do happen to live in one of those markets, Sling is the cheapest non-free-trial way to watch a live stream of Spain vs Italy in the United States.

You’ll need the “Sling Blue” channel package, which is currently only $20 for you first month. But even if you’ve used Sling before, it’s still only $40 per month, which is still cheaper than any other live-TV streaming service with Fox.

Watch the Spain vs Italy live stream from abroad

If you’re outside of the United States, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) to access one of the aforementioned streaming services. They’re all normally restricted to US-only, but a VPN hides your location and connects you to a digital server in the United States to get you around those restrictions.

NordVPN works well for this purpose, as it’s fast, reliable and has nearly 2,000 servers in the United States alone. You can also check out your list of the best VPN services for some other options.

Grok’s AI-generated Odyssey series is seven minutes of nothing happening beautifully
The landscapes look convincing. The fake Hugh Jackman and Instagram-face amalgamation playing Penelope are harder to forgive.

Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube’s next big upgrade could make videos use 30% less data
AV2 could reduce the data needed to stream videos while enabling better HDR and multi-view experiences.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.

What is AV2, and why should viewers care?

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions
Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
