Portugal v France TV channel, start time and how to watch Euro 2024 quarter final online tonight

Portugal needed penalties to reach the quarter-finals and will face a France side who have had a more straightforward route at Euro 2024.

France squeezed through to the last eight with a late Jan Vertonghen own goal that sealed their victory against Belgium.

Portugal struggled to create openings against Slovenia and Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty, but was on target in the following shoot-out as Roberto Martinez’s side squeezed through.

France’s narrow win over Belgium might have lacked quality and excitement for large periods of the match, but France had several missed opportunities. Kylian Mbappe has not found his form since sustaining a broken nose in his side’s first game of the tournament but will have another chance against Portugal.

The game might be billed as the new generation of Mbappe against 39-year-old Ronaldo, and it is set to make for an exciting contest.
