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


The Euro 2024 final is looming on the horizon. It's one of the biggest fixtures in world football, but getting to that point is incredibly tough. Even at this late stage, the remaining sides will need to be nearly perfect to progress to the final.

And while Spain have been clinical and dominant so far, having won every game and netted 11 goals, France haven't been up to their usual standard. We know France are a world class squad and have the capacity to give Spain a run for their money. After beating Portugal on penalties in the quarter final, can France step their game up?

Either way, it's a clash of European football titans and it's all to play for — there's only one spot in the Euro 2024 final available.
