TL;DR: Watch England vs. Switzerland in Euro 2024 for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN.


Euro 2024 has been a joy to watch. The tournament has been full of spectacular goals, late drama, and passionate fans. What more could you want?

England entered the tournament as favorites, which isn't surprising with the strength of the English squad. But it's been a patchy start for the Three Lions. Though late drama in their win against Slovakia might give them a boost to go all the way.

England will face exceptionally tough competition from the in-form Switzerland, though. The Swiss have been one of the big surprises of the tournament so far, with world class mentality and dynamism on the ball. But, of course, only one of these teams can advance to the semi finals. It's all to play for.
