Spain has not lost a game at Euros since 2004, but their dominance over Turkey stretches far longer. It’s been 52 years since Turkey beat Spain in a competitive match, with the last victory coming during World Cup qualifying in 1954. Turkey fell 1-0 to Croatia in their opening match.
Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. Eastern time, and it will be broadcast on ESPN in the United States.
If you’re in the United States, you have a streaming option regardless of whether you have cable with a free trial from Sling TV.
A live stream of the game is available in select other countries, but only for viewers with access to a cable or satellite subscription. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a breakdown of options for users outside the U.S.
If you’re outside the United States and don’t have access to a cable or satellite subscription, or if you live in a country where there are no streaming options, there’s no legal way to stream the game. You can follow the action live via the Euro 2016 official Twitter feed.
