UEFA Euro 2024 live stream: Can you watch the championship for free?

And then there were 16. Euro 2024 is officially into the knockout stages, as Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, England, Denmark, Slovenia, Austria, France, Netherlands, Romania, Belgium, Slovakia, Portugal, Turkey and Georgia are all still alive in their quest for immortality. It’s already been a thrilling tournament, but the matches will only get more exciting from here.

In the United States, all remaining Euro 2024 matches will be televised on Fox or FS1. Fortunately, if you don’t have cable, there are a lot of different ways you can watch a live stream of all the action for free or cheap:

Is there a free Euro 2024 live stream?

Originally, Fubo was the top option for watching a live stream of Euro 2024 because it had exclusive coverage of a few of the matches. Those matches are over now, though, meaning all you need to watch everything from here on out is Fox and Fox Sports 1.

Fubo, of course, is still a perfectly good options. It’s just not the only option. You can watch a live stream of both Fox (live in most markets) and FS1 via Fubo (“Pro” channel package), YouTube TV (“Base Plan”) or DirecTV Stream (“Entertainment” plan or above). All three are intended to replace cable, so they’re pricey long-term options, but they all come with a free trial.

The Fubo free trial will get you seven days before having to pay anything, while YouTube TV and DirecTV Stream are each five.

So, if you haven’t used any of these before, you could use Fubo for all of the Round of 16 matches (June 29-July 2), and then the two quarterfinals on July 5. You could then cancel that and use YouTube TV for the other two quarterfinals (July 6) and both semifinals (July 9 and 10). Finally, you could cancel YouTube TV and sign up for DirecTV Stream for the final on July 14. That’ll get you every match for free.

If we aren’t counting free trials, the cheapest way to watch Euro 2024 matches in the United States is Sling TV.

The “Sling Blue” channel package includes Fox (live in select markets) and Fox Sports 1. It’s only $40 per month, which is already cheaper than any other streaming service, but new subscribers can get their first month for a mere $20.

There are some drawbacks, as Fox is only available live in a very few number of markets, but if you happen to live in one of those areas and you want the cheapest way to watch all of the remaining matches, then this is the way to go.

A virtual private network, such as the highly recommended NordVPN, can hide your IP address/location and connect you to a digital server in the United States. So, even if you’re physically somewhere else in the world, it still looks like you’re in the US. This allows you to access any of the normally location-restricted streaming services we just covered and watch a live stream of Euro 2024 matches from abroad.
