We’re only going to be recommending official sources for watching Spain vs Sweden. If you use an unlicensed stream, there’s no guarantee it won’t be taken offline for violating copyright.

How to watch Spain vs Sweden live online with a VPN

A VPN lets you change your IP address. Doing so makes it look as if you’re browsing (or streaming) from another location. This is particularly useful if you need to access a website or service that’s region-locked (such as those showing the Spain vs Sweden match) while abroad.

Here’s how to live stream Spain vs Sweden online from anywhere:

1. Start by signing up with a VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and ExpressVPN are equally affordable alternatives.
2. The next step is to download and then install the correct VPN app for your browsing device (the one on which you plan to watch Spain vs Sweden online).
3. Open the VPN app before connecting to a server in the country of the streaming service you’d like to use. For example a server in the US for watching on ESPN.
4. Go to the streaming platform via web browser or its native app (and sign in if necessary). Its content should now be available to stream in your location.
5. You may need to clear your browser’s cookies for the website or service to forget your previous IP address. If this doesn’t work, try connecting to another server.

This group stage Euro 2020 match will air live. You can avoid missing out by ensuring that your VPN works with your chosen streaming platform ahead of time. If you run into any issues, your VPN’s customer support may be able to provide further assistance.

How to watch Spain vs Sweden (Euro 2020) on UK TV

British fans of soccer (or football, as it’s called locally) can stream Spain vs Sweden live, and for free on BBC iPlayer. This requires signing up for an account. In doing so, you’ll be asked to provide an email address, your date of birth, country, and a UK postcode (any UK postal code is accepted). You’re also required to have a valid TV license although there’s no verification process to check you actually have one.

While BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK, you can watch it online from abroad by connecting to a VPN server in the UK. This ensures you have a UK IP address, unblocking the content in the process. NordVPN works with BBC iPlayer and even includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. This allows you to try it out risk-free and request a full refund if unsatisfied.

Where else can I watch Spain vs Sweden live online?

There’s no shortage of broadcasters for the Spain vs Sweden game. These include the following:

US

Spain vs Sweden will be available to stream on ESPN. This is good news for US cable TV subscribers as it means they should already have access at no extra cost. ESPN will show 46 of 51 Euro 2020 matches (with ABC to air the other five). To watch online, simply sign in to ESPN via web browser or the ESPN app using the same login details you use with your cable TV subscription.

Fortunately, it’s also possible to watch ESPN cable-free. Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV offer ESPN and ABC as part of their packages and both cost $64.99 USD/month. FuboTV costs the same amount but doesn’t include ABC. Another TV streaming service that offers ESPN but doesn’t include ABC is Sling TV. This is a much more affordable option at only $35/month.

Whether you stream Spain vs Sweden on ESPN or via a TV streaming service such as Hulu, you’re going to need a VPN. Unblocking this match is as simple as using an American server to get a US IP address.

Connect to a VPN server in Australia for an Australian IP address.

Spain

In Spain, the Spain vs Sweden game will be available to stream on Mitele. Better still, Mitele is free to use and you don’t need an account to watch. Although Mitele content is geo-restricted and unavailable abroad, you can easily unblock it by using a VPN to acquire a Spanish IP address.

Sweden

The broadcast rights to the Euro 2020 tournament are split between SVT and TV4 in Sweden. When it comes to Spain vs Sweden, the game will be shown on SVT. This means that you’ll be able to stream it free on SVT Play. This platform’s content is geo-blocked outside Sweden but a VPN allows you to get a Swedish IP address and unblock it from anywhere.

What should I know about the Euro 2020 tournament?

The COVID-19 pandemic saw the Euro 2020 tournament postponed from the summer of 2020 to June 11–July 11, 2021. This means that a limited number of fans can now attend the 11 different venues, spread across 11 UEFA country cities. The match between Spain and Sweden will be held in front of fans at Estadio de La Cartuja, Seville, having originally been due to take place in Bilbao.

A total of 24 teams have qualified for Euro 2020. These teams are divided into six groups of four. A total of 16 teams will progress to the knockout stage (the top two teams from each group plus the four best-placed third teams). Spain and Sweden are in Group E along with Poland and Slovakia.

Spain vs Sweden: Who is favorite to win?

It’s hard to see a Swedish victory here. Spain are outside favorites to win the entire tournament (only France, England, Belgium, and Germany have better odds). There’s perhaps something to be said for Spain having home advantage in this fixture as well. Spain have won six, drawn five, and lost three of the 14 international meetings with Sweden.
