Germany vs Spain starts soon, at 2:45 p.m. ET / 8:45 p.m. local CEST today (Sept. 3). The game airs on ESPN2, UniMás and TUDN USA.

It's almost time for today's Germany vs Spain live stream, which sees both teams trying to start their 2020-21 UEFA Nations League season on a much better foot than how they ended the prior. And it might not be that hard for Germany, which was dead last in a group with France and the Netherlands. 

Spain, on the other hand, failed to make it to the semi-finals, losing by a narrow margin to England. Spain may have brighter chances, as coach Luis Enrique is starting over from scratch (kinda) with an exiting young team that has its work cut out for itself by taking Germany on at its home field.

Speaking of the home side, Germany's head coach Joachim Low will be trying to use this season to dig himself out of a proverbial ditch, as the previous Nations League and the 2018 FIFA World Cup ended in regrettable fashion.

Spain and Germany are in Group A, alongside Switzerland and Ukraine, and Spain looks to rely on Barcelona winger Ansu Fati for success, and Chelsea's Timo Werner (seen above) is one of the stars that will hopefully push Germany to excel and thrive. 

So, here is everything you need to watch the Germany vs Spain live stream:
