Turkey vs Wales Euro 2020 time, date, channel

The Turkey vs Wales Euro 2020 game starts today (Wednesday, June 16) 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 BBC. Full channel details below.

The Turkey vs Wales live stream starts very soon, and it's one Euro 2020 game you won't want to miss. 

Turkey may be bottom of Group A after their opening match against Italy, but will enjoy the next best thing to a home crowd against Wales. That's because the game will take place in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan: a country with which Turkey enjoys close political and cultural ties, right down to a shared army of soccer fans.

Wales won't have the crowd on their side, then, but could be feeling upbeat after Kieffer Moore's header rescued a point against Switzerland. Talisman forward and team captain Gareth Bale will definitely start, though Turkey have their own experienced players in defender Caglar Soyuncu and striker Burak Yilmaz. 

The line-ups have now been confirmed for both teams, so here's how they'll take to the field:

Turkey (4-1-4-1): Cakir; Celik, Ayhan, Soyuncu, Meras; Yokuslu; Under, Karaman, Tufan, Calhanoglu; Yilmaz.

Wales (4-3-2-1): Ward; C. Roberts, Mepham, Rodon, B. Davies; Allen, Morrell; Bale, Ramsey, James; Moore.

The Group A qualifying slots are still all to play for and we'll see who claims an advantage today (Wednesday, June 16) at 5 p.m. BST (12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT). You can watch it all live, for free, wherever you are, so here's how to watch the Turkey vs Wales live stream at Euro 2020.
