Italy vs. England Livestream: How to Watch Euro 2024 Qualifier Soccer From Anywhere

Italy and England begin their Euro 2024 qualification campaigns with this clash between the two European giants at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

The Group C game marks England's first match since the World Cup, with boss Gareth Southgate needing to lift his players following their demoralizing knockout by France.

Italy never managed to qualify for Qatar 2022, and coach Roberto Mancini will be determined for his men to make a good start here as they look to reach the tournament in which they triumphed back in 2021.

That win was sealed with a victory at Wembley against their opponents on Thursday, adding extra incentive for England skipper Harry Kane to get on the score sheet this evening. The Tottenham star is just one goal away from becoming his country's all-time leading goal scorer.

How to watch the Italy vs. England game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, and you can -- the equivalent of $6.67 a month -- if you get an annual subscription.
