Czech Republic vs Denmark Euro 2020 time, date, channel

The Czech Republic vs Denmark Euro 2020 game begins today (July 3) at 5 p.m. BST / 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT. In the U.S., it's available on ESPN. In the U.K., you can watch on ITV and the ITV Hub. Full channel details below.

The Czech Republic vs Denmark live stream is about to begin, and it will open up a climactic final day of the Euro 2020 quarter-finals. Both teams are harboring renewed hope of reaching the final four.

Last week, the Czechs beat the Netherlands 2-0 in what, at the time, was the biggest upset of the tournament. Forward Patrik Schick now has one of the highest individual goal tallies of any player in the Euros, and his team will be relying on that net-finding prowess to help them beat the odds once again.

Yes, Denmark remains the favorite here, but you can ask Netherlands or France what often happens to favorites. Still, Denmark have looked much more threatening in their previous two games, beating Russia 4-1 in the final group stage match and then dismantling Wales 4-0 in the Round of 16. The recovery of Christian Eriksen, who collapsed on the pitch in Denmark's opening game, will likely continue to be a source of inspiration for both the team and otherwise neutral fans. 

The teams for today's match have been named, with Denmark unchanged from the side that beat Wales, but the Czechs bringing in Jan Boril at full back. Here's how they line up:

Czech Republic: Vaclik, Coufal, Celustka, Kalas, Boril, Holes, Soucek, Masopust, Barak, Sevcik, Schick.

Denmark: Schmeichel, Christensen, Kjaer, Vestergaard, Stryger Larsen, Hojbjerg, Delaney, Maehle, Braithwaite, Dolberg, Damsgaard.

Czech Republic vs Denmark kicks off today (July 3) at 5 p.m. BST (12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT). The best part? You can watch the whole thing for free, regardless of where you are in the world. Our guide below will explain how.
