Ollie Watkins’ last-minute strike against the Netherlands bagged England a spot in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against Spain, and Mirror Sport provides all the need-to-know details for the decider
Gareth Southgate‘s England have battled the odds to navigate their way to a Euro 2024 final against Spain.
Two of the major pre-tournament favourites will collide at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Sunday for what promises to be a clash of epic proportions. England did things the hard way after Ollie Watkins’ 90th-minute decider bagged them a dramatic 2-1 semi-final win over the Netherlands.
That’s after the Three Lions required extra-time and penalties to advance past Slovakia and Switzerland, respectively, in the previous two rounds. England have taken the scenic route to Germany’s capital, but all fans will care about is the fact they’ll be the first team in more than a decade to contest consecutive Euros finals.
The last team to do so was Saturday’s opponents, Spain, who won back-to-back European Championships in 2008 and 2012. England have never played a final abroad, and Mirror Sport provides all the details you’ll need to tune in as the Three Lions look to ensure they avoid successive silver medals.
What time does England vs Spain kick-off?
The Euro 2024 final will occupy the same evening kick-off slot as both semi-finals, with the action due to get underway at 8pm BST (9pm local) on Sunday. Luis de la Fuente’s men will have had one day’s extra rest after beating France in their own semi-final on Tuesday, a full 24 hours before England devastated the Dutch.
As has become Euros tradition, a closing ceremony will precede kick-off as American pop-rock band One Republic take to the stage. They’ll be joined by Italian group Meduza and German singer Leony, who will perform the official Euro 2024 anthem, ‘Fire‘.
Where and how can I watch England vs Spain?
ITV and the BBC have split broadcasting duties throughout the summer tournament, but both broadcasters will air Sunday’s showdown. British viewers can take their pick of terrestrial channels, with some of the nation’s favourite pundits also set to return.
Online spectators can also tune in via their streaming devices. BBC iPlayer will show coverage of the bigger international fixture of the year, while users can also catch the game on the ITVX app.
England vs Spain match odds
The margins are slim for Sunday’s finale, where Spain lead as favourite but could still offer considerable value at 7/5, per All British Casino. England fans can almost treble their money with the Three Lions roaring in as 12/5 underdogs, while the draw is priced at 13/7 over 90 minutes.
For those who think the clash will be too tight to call in normal time, it’s also possible to back whom you think will lift the Euro 2024 title, regardless of whether the game goes to extra time or penalties. Spain are the considerable frontrunners in that market and lead at 2/3, while England trail at 11/10 to be crowned champions.
