The Czech Republic vs England live stream is here, and it will end with the Euro 2020 Group D winner confirmed, determining who plays who in the upcoming knockout stages.

Thanks to results elsewhere, both Czech Republic and England are guaranteed to progress — but this is no dead rubber game. Both teams will be wanting a clean win and all three points, to build momentum and reset after disappointing draws earlier in the group stage.

Czech Republic have already exceeded expectations and will win the group with a draw. Striker Patrik Schick will be one to watch: he'll enter the game with the joint-most goals of Euro 2020 so far, scoring three times in two games to match Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, England's star striker Harry Kane has been misfiring, though manager Gareth Southgate can bolster his defensive and midfield ranks. Harry Maguire and Kyle Walker both return, while Jack Grealish also starts, as does Arsenal's Bukayo Saka. The Czechs are unchanged from their previous game.

England: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Saka, Grealish, Sterling, Kane.

Czech Republic: Vaclik, Coufal, Celustka, Kalas, Boril, Holes, Soucek, Masopust, Darida, Jankto, Schick.

Czech Republic vs England kicks off today (Tuesday, June 22) at 8 p.m. BST (3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT). You can watch it all for free, including the pre- and post-match commentary, from anywhere in the world; simply keep reading our guide to find out how.
