How to watch England vs Slovenia (Euro 2024)

On June 25, thousands of soccer fans will file into the RheinEnergie Stadion in Germany to watch The Three Lions take on The Dragons in one of the most-anticipated Group C fixtures. Kickoff is scheduled for 22:00 CEST (21:00 BST / 13:00 PDT / 16:00 EDT), but you’ll want to set some time aside to catch up on the rest of the day’s matches, too. Below, we’ll reveal how to watch the 2024 Euros online, no matter where you are.

The 2024 Euros will air in over 100 different countries, meaning fans all over the world have the chance to watch. This post will only discuss official European Championship broadcasters. Unlike third-party streams, there’s no chance of these being taken down part way through, and you’re guaranteed the best-quality video. It’s also worth noting that you can stream the England vs Slovenia match for free in several countries anyway, making unofficial streams pointless.

Most streaming sites showing the European Championship are region-locked. As such, you may be unable to continue watching matches while traveling abroad. However, regaining access is easy: just connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server in your home country, and you can stream the Euros to your heart’s content. 

How to watch England vs Slovenia online from abroad

VPNs send your traffic through servers in another location, making it seem like you’re elsewhere. This can help you access geo-blocked streaming platforms even in places that are not normally available. Just follow these steps to watch the Euros abroad:

1. Your first task is to choose a VPN. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are both excellent alternatives with plenty to offer.
2. Install the VPN app and log in.
3. Choose one of the available servers in your home country. This will get you a local IP address, shielding your true location and allowing you to access your favorite services again.
4. Visit your country’s official Euro 2024 broadcaster (check this list if you’re not sure). You should be able to play videos without any performance problems or errors. Don’t worry if you’re having issues; we’ve found that clearing your cookies and reloading the page tends to resolve most issues.
5. Still having problems? We’d suggest letting your VPN’s support team know. All of the providers above offer 24/7 assistance via live chat and will be more than happy to walk you through the solution.

European Championship games will be broadcast live. For that reason, we strongly suggest spending a few minutes to make sure that everything works as expected. This way, there’s no chance of you missing the start of the match due to technical issues.

How to watch England vs Slovenia for free on UK TV

There are two Euro 2024 broadcasters in the UK: the BBC and ITV. You can stream every single fixture live, without paying a penny, on BBC iPlayer or ITVX. The England vs. Slovenia match will be on ITV, so just create a free account, and you’ll be good to go. Note that you’ll need a TV license if you plan to watch live, but this isn’t required if you only want to stream the match on-demand.

ITVX is normally only accessible in the UK. However, you’ll be able to unblock it once you connect to a British VPN server regardless of your actual location. NordVPN comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can use it to stream the entire European Championship. Once it’s over, just cancel to receive a full refund (assuming you don’t want to keep using it, of course).

The England vs Slovenia game is the last group match for The Three Lions. It comes after the Denmark fixture.

Where else can I watch England vs Slovenia online?

With dozens of regional broadcasters, it’s extremely easy to watch the Euros during a trip abroad. Below, we’ll reveal which networks are airing 2024 European Championship games near you.

USA

FOX Sports has exclusive broadcast rights to the 2024 Euros and will show every single fixture, including England vs Slovenia. If you’re already a subscriber, you can sign into the website with your cable provider details and watch live online at no added cost.

Good news for cord-cutters: plenty of over-the-top services include FOX Sports as standard. Some of these, like fuboTV and DirecTV Stream are pretty expensive, though, so we’d recommend signing up for Sling TV’s Blue package. This costs $40 USD and offers a 50 percent discount on your first month. Alternatively, you can stream the European Championship in Spanish for $4.99 on VIX. Be sure to disable automatic renewal, though, because all of these services will happily continue charging you after the first month.

The streaming platforms above are only available in the United States. That said, you can access them from anywhere in the world with the help of a VPN.

Canada

Two networks are sharing Euro 2024 broadcast rights in Canada: CTV and TSN. Fans will be able to stream replays of most fixtures for free on CTV, and can sign in using their cable provider details if they’d like to watch live. The remaining fixtures, however, (including England vs Slovenia) are exclusive to TSN. On the plus side, subscriptions cost $8 CAD per month, so it’s not overly expensive to catch all of the action live.

CTV and TSN are region-locked and can’t normally be accessed outside of Canada. International travelers just have to use one of their VPN’s Canadian servers to regain access.

Australia

Unfortunately, there’s no way to stream England vs Slovenia for free in Australia. In fact, you’ll have to pay to watch any of the 2024 European Championships. That’s because every match will be on Optus Sport. This service costs $24.99 AUD per month although if you’re an existing Optus customer, you can upgrade for just $6.99 monthly. At least you won’t have to wait up until 06:00 ACT, since replays will become available shortly after each match finishes.

Optus Sport will display an error if you try to use it outside of Australia. Connect to a VPN beforehand, however, and you’ll be able to stream the 2024 Euros without any issues.

Other locations

With an official broadcaster in just about every country, we can’t cover them all individually. Still, there’s no need to worry if we didn’t mention yours above. Here’s a quick rundown of which networks are airing European Championship fixtures for free across Europe:

• Slovenia: RTV Slovenia (free to watch)
• France: beIN Sports (€15 per month)
• Germany: ZDF (free to watch)
• Italy: RAI (free to watch)
• Spain: RTVE (free to watch)
• The Netherlands: NOS (free to watch)

Who’s the favorite: England or Slovenia?

At the time of writing, England are the heavy favorite, sitting at around -400. It’s fairly easy to see why: Slovenia haven’t qualified for a major tournament since 2010 and have lost or tied every single match they’ve ever played against the England squad. While they frequently dismantle smaller teams, it’s rare for them to come out on top when playing world-class opponents (though they did beat Portugal earlier this year).

England, on the other hand, frequently places well in the World Cup, Euros, and Nations League. The team has had a bit of a spotty record lately, but all things considered, they shouldn’t have too much trouble here. That said, anything can happen on the pitch, which is part of what makes soccer so exciting. You’ll have to tune in for yourself to see who wins!
