The England vs Croatia Euro 2020 game starts today (Sunday, June 13) at 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 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 England vs Croatia live stream is starting soon, and it's one Euro 2020 game you won't want to miss.
England, at least, will feel they have unfinished business, having lost 2-1 to Croatia in the 2018 World Cup semi-final. They'll also go into it as favorites and with a youthful team packed with talent and creativity.
The big problem for manager Gareth Southgate is how to find space for the likes of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho in the same side (spoiler: he won't). Harry Kane is a definite starter, though, and after claiming the Golden Boot at the last World Cup will be confident of bagging a few more here.

Croatia have plenty of talent too: Luka Modric, Ivan Perisic and Ante Rebic, for instance, all played in that semi-final and are still around three years later, while the more youthful likes of Nikola Vlasic and Bruno Petkovic have broken into the team since then.
It's likely to be a tight game — with both sides knowing that this possibly represents their toughest game in Group D, they'll have earmarked it as more of a must-not-lose game than a must-win one.
Who will come out on top? We'll find out soon, because kick off is today (Sunday, June 13) at 2 p.m. BST (9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT). You can watch it all live, for free, wherever you are, so here's how to watch the England vs Croatia live stream at Euro 2020.
