The day has finally arrived for the England National Team. Euro 2020 is here. In ... 2020. But no matter. There's more a lot of football to be played over the next month. Up first for The Three Lions — Croatia.
And it's a home game as well, with London a host city for the tournament. That'll certainly be an advantage when the teams hit the pitch at Wembley Stadium. That said, the stands will only be partially full, with only 22,500 fans on hand for the game, leaving another 67,500 seats empty.
For those of us who can't be there, however, just one question remains: How can you watch England vs. Croatia?
We've got answers.

Sunday's game is the first of the day, scheduled for kickoff at 9 a.m. Eastern time, or 6 a.m. on the West Coast. (It'll be followed by Austria-North Macedonia at noon, and the Netherlands vs. Ukraine at 3 p.m.)
The England-Croatia game is available on ESPN in the U.S., which makes it available to pretty much anyone with a cable, satellite or streaming account, as ESPN is available just about everywhere.
If you're looking around for a good streaming service to watch the match, we recommend taking a look at FuboTV. Not only is it competitive with the other available services, there's a FuboTV free trial as well, so you can take things for a test drive before buying.

How to watch Euro 2020 live from anywhere in the world
If you're not in your usual home country during Euro 2020 and you're still looking to catch every second of every match, you've got options. And one of the best (and easiest) is to employ a good VPN.
A virtual private network takes all the network traffic to and from your computer and routes it through a specific set of servers in a specific country. So if your usual method of watching in, say, England, isn't available because you happen to be in, say, Croatia, you can fire up a VPN instance back in the UK, essentially making it look as if your computer is still at home. Because, insofar as the internet traffic is concerned, it is.
You also get the added bonus of making sure all of your traffic encrypted, which is the sort of thing you have to have if you're ever using a public Wifi spot.
ExpressVPN is one of the easiest and affordable ways to watch what you want from anywhere you want to watch it. Plus it'll help keep your network traffic away from any prying eyes on public networks.
It's also a great way to make sure you can watch every Euro 2020 match, no matter where in the world you may be.View Deal
