How to watch Ukraine vs England live online (EURO 2020 Quarter-Final)

After a shocking last-minute victory over Sweden, Ukraine have made it through to the quarter-finals. They’ll take on England on July 3 at 9 PM CEST (8 PM BST / 12 PM PST / 3 PM EST). All signs point to this being an incredible match; England are fresh from a resounding win over Germany, and Ukraine will be eager to show that this wasn’t a fluke. Below, we’ll let you know how to live stream Ukraine vs England online, from anywhere in the world.

Unlicensed streams are common, but usually provide a far poorer experience than official sources. These streams are often laggy, low-resolution, and prone to being taken offline for copyright violation. On the plus side, there are dozens of legitimate ways to watch Ukraine vs England online, and some of these are even free. In other words, there’s no reason to use shady, unreliable sources.

This Euro 2020 fixture will be shown almost exclusively on geo-restricted platforms. This means that if you’re traveling, you’ll most likely need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch using the same streaming services you would back home. 

How to live stream Ukraine vs England online from abroad

VPNs hide your online activities from snoopers by encrypting your traffic and sending it through a server elsewhere in the world. In doing so, they hide your real IP address and cause you to appear to be wherever your chosen server is.

Here’s how to watch Ukraine vs England online from anywhere:

1. The first step is to decide upon a VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN, but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two speedy, secure alternatives that are perfect for streaming.
2. Once you’ve signed up, download the app. Most providers allow you to connect five or so devices simultaneously, so feel free to install it on any you use often.
3. Log in and choose a server in the appropriate country. You’d need a US server to unblock ABC abroad, for example, or a Canadian server to watch TVA.
4. Now, make sure everything has worked by playing a video on your chosen service. If it fails to load, clear your cookies and try again. Still having trouble? Try a different server in the same country or contact your VPN’s support team for more advice.

We strongly recommend you take a few minutes to check that your VPN works properly with your preferred streaming service before kickoff. This approach drastically reduces the chance of you missing the start of the game due to unexpected technical problems. Many providers offer 24/7 live chat, which makes getting help as quick and easy as possible.

How to watch Ukraine vs England on US TV

After this match, watching Euro 2020 online becomes far more straightforward. That’s because Ukraine vs England is the last fixture to be shown on ABC, with all the rest airing on ESPN instead. If your cable plan includes these channels, you can log into the respective website or app to stream the matches live at no added cost.

Alternatively, you have the option to log into ABC using a YouTube TV or Hulu with Live TV account. These each cost $64.99 USD per month and come with a short free trial period. ESPN also lets you sign in with these platforms, but also supports FuboTV ($64.99 per month) and Sling TV accounts ($34.99 per month).

The services above are all geo-blocked. To use them from outside of the United States, you’ll need a VPN. Luckily, NordVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee that lets you try it out completely risk-free. If it fails to impress you, just cancel within 30 days for a full refund.

Where else can I stream the Ukraine vs England match online?

There was always going to be huge international interest in this tournament. Still, few expected it to be shown live in more than 200 countries! Read on for a breakdown of which networks let you watch Euro 2020 online where you are:

UK

The Ukraine vs England match will be shown exclusively on BBC iPlayer. Fans will be able to watch the game live, or on-demand a few hours after the final whistle. An account is required, but getting one is as simple as entering your email address, a password, and any UK postcode.

This service doesn’t cost anything to use, other than the price of your TV license. Despite the legal requirement to have one in order to use BBC iPlayer, it doesn’t actually verify this in any way and instead relies on an honor system.

BBC iPlayer is normally only accessible in the UK. However, with the right VPN, you’ll be able to use it from anywhere in the world.

Canada

If you’re looking to stream the Euros in Canada, there are two options. First, TSN offers English-language coverage of every fixture. Existing subscribers can just log in with their cable provider details, whereas new customers must pay either $7.99 CAD for a one-day pass, or $19.99 for a month’s access.

There is a better alternative if you speak French (or just don’t care about the match commentary): TVA. This platform offers live streams and full-length replays of every Euro 2020 fixture and is completely free to use. It even lets you turn on French subtitles if you’d like.

These services are both region-locked. However, it’s possible to use them outside of Canada if you have a suitable VPN.

Australia

Optus Sport is the only network showing Euro 2020 matches in Australia. If you’re already an Optus customer, just login with your usual details and you’ll be able to watch online for free. Thankfully, there’s also a way to stream the Euros online without cable; this comes in the form of a $14.99 AUD per month digital pass.

Normally, you’d have to be in Australia to access Optus Sport. With an Australian VPN server, though, you’ll be able to watch during your travels abroad.

Ukraine

If you’re in Ukraine, you shouldn’t have much difficulty following the remainder of the tournament. Every single fixture will be shown live on Telekanal Ukraina, which means you can watch them online using the Kanalukraina streaming platform. There’s no need to create an account or pay anything, either.

Due to regional restrictions, you can’t use this service unless you’re in Ukraine or have a Ukrainian IP address

Other locations

Didn’t see your country above? Relax: there are simply too many networks showing this tournament to cover them all individually. To begin with, we’d recommend you check out the official Euro 2020 broadcast partners list — this should give you a good idea of how you can watch the Euros online.

It sometimes pays to do a little more research, though. That’s because this list doesn’t mention any licensing agreements that the official partners make. In simple terms, you may also be able to watch on local streaming platforms if the main broadcaster is cable-only.

Ukraine vs England predictions

The odds seem pretty heavily stacked against Ukraine here, but they’ve made it this far. In fact, this is the furthest the Ukrainian squad has ever come in an international tournament, so regardless of the result, it’s a win for the country.

Here are the facts: Ukraine hasn’t been the most consistent so far, and struggles with maintaining pressure. England, on the other hand, is known for its incredible forwards and hasn’t conceded a goal in over half a dozen matches. It’ll be an uphill battle for the Ukrainian side but if they can make it through extra time safely, penalties might be their best shot at a win.

Ukrainian and English Euro 2020 squad lists

We won’t know exactly who’ll be starting the match until nearer kickoff time, but we can always speculate based on the 26 players each manager brought to the tournament. For instance, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling have been in all of England’s matches so far, and this trend will probably continue. Additionally, it seems highly unlikely that Ukraine’s Besedin will be playing, after suffering an injury during the Sweden match. Here are the full squad lists of Ukraine and England:
