After a year’s delay, you’re able to stream the Euros — also known as Euro 2021, or its original Euro 2020 name. It starts with the group stages that commenced June 11, all the way to the July 11 final.

Unlike past tournaments, it’s not just hosted in one nation. As part of the festivities around the tournament’s 60th anniversary, 11 different nations are involved with the staging of the event.

What is the Euros?

The Euros is UEFA’s quadrennial soccer tournament crowning the best team in Europe. UEFA, the federation overseeing soccer in Europe, is best known for running the annual Champions League tournament involving the best club teams. The Euros is all about international teams; Portgual is the reigning champ by virtue of beating France in extra time of the 2016 finals.

Typically, the Euros are held every four years, timed to be halfway between each World Cup. The Euros, in fact, function as a mini-World Cup. But, as you’ve probably guessed, the pandemic interrupted the sports calendar, and UEFA officials opted to move the tournament to 2021.

How do teams qualify for the Euros?

There’s a whole playoff system involving all 55 UEFA nations, which include Israel, Turkey, Georgia, and Azerbaijan, as well as the nations you’d expect to find in a list involving Europe. The qualifying play started in March 2019 and didn’t wrap up until November 2020.

It involved 10 groups of either five or six teams. The winners and second-place finishers in each group advanced, and the next-best sixteen teams went into four playoff “paths.” Each four-team pod had semifinals and final matches to round out the 24-team field, which is how North Macedonia, Hungary, Slovakia, and Scotland got in the Euros.

How to stream the Euros: Streaming services carrying Euro 2021 matches

To get the Euros, you’ll want to have access to ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC throughout the tournament. You’ll also have access to some matches en Español, and if you sign up for the free Prende TV app, you’ll also be able to get every match. Note that if you have ESPN Plus, you’ll be able to stream all the matches, though it’s in a special multi-view format that has a camera on each coach plus a bird’s eye view of the action. Judging from Twitter, some people aren’t fans.

Fubo TV

FuboTV started as a streaming service geared toward sports fans. It’s since evolved into a broadly-appealing option with entertainment and news options alongside its robust sports choices. It starts at $59.99 a month, and depending on the package, you can access as many as 180+ FuboTV channels. Fubo can entertain you with Bravo, IFC, MTV, and VH1 at even Fubo’s most basic tier.

The Fubo channel list still includes plenty of sports, including the Fubo Sports Network, which has original programming mixing sports and humor. Fubo added the ESPN suite of channels in an agreement that also brought ABC and the Disney Channel. Pretty much every sports channel you could think of is available through Fubo, including BeIN Sports, CBS Sports Network, and TUDN. To get the most sports, consider adding the Sports Plus with NFL RedZone add-on at $10.99 a month to a robust Fubo Elite package.

Sling TV

If you’re looking for a streamlined, cost-effective streaming package, check out Sling TV. It offers two basic cable packages, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, each of which costs $35 per month. There’s also the third option of getting Sling Orange + Blue for just $50 per month. You’ll get more Sling TV channels by choosing Sling Blue, with its 40 channels including sports favorites like FS1 and NBCSN and cable mainstays like Food Network and Discovery Channel. But Sling Orange brings must-haves Disney Channel and ESPN as part of its package, which you’ll want in order to stream the Euros. Sling also has a number of add-ons, including robust international packages organized by languages all over the globe.

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu Live TV is a great way to stream live TV, as it comes with access to Hulu’s massive library of on-demand content. You’ll be able to choose from movies, shows, and Hulu’s original programming, and keep up with what’s new each month. Hulu plans even include a bundle option where you can access Disney+ and ESPN+ along with Hulu.

Hulu Live TV’s sports coverage includes the full suite of ESPN channels (including ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, and ESPN College Extra), FS1 and FS2), NBSCN, the Olympic Channel, and the Big Ten Network. In addition to setting you up to stream the Euros, Hulu’s also got you covered for news and entertainment in its nearly 70-channel package.

AT&T TV Now

If you’re already looking to AT&T for your wireless needs, you might consider AT&T TV Now to cover streaming for you. AT&T TV Now channels start with Plus and Max, which even include HBO. Then, AT&T plans expand from there, approaching cable selection and pricing with AT&T TV Now’s biggest packages. AT&T streaming also comes with Cloud DVR, letting you record up to 20 hours of TV per month.

At its most basic Plus tier, you can find sports staples like ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1. Considering that AT&TV TV Now plans include the loaded Ultimate and Premier tiers, as well as the Spanish-language Optimo Mas package, you can find whatever sports channel you’re seeking in at least one of the AT&T TV Now plans. If you’re looking for ESPN and ESPN2, you can get in at the Plus tier to stream it.

Vidgo

For under $40 a month–or through its current $10 for the first month offer—Vidgo brings more than 60 English-language channels into its National English Package. Vidgo channels include ABC, Fox, the ESPN family of channels (including ESPN Deportes), NFL Network, and it’s one of the few streaming services that carries BeIN Sports. Like Fubo, it started out for streaming sports but carries a lot more now. There’s even a Social TV platform that allows you to chat with other Vidgo viewers about what you’re watching.

Vidgo has two Latino options featuring ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, and TyC sports at both levels. At the Plus level on the English side, you get NFL RedZone and all the Pac-12 Network regional options.

It even comes with a few Spanish-language channels like Telemundo and NBC Universo. YouTube add-ons include HBO Max, Showtime, and Starz. YouTube TV packages have some advantages over their competitors, including a generous DVR and multiple screens package. From one account, each user can create an individual profile to track favorite shows.

It’s a great option for sports fans. It comes with ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, and NBCSN at the ready. Deeper sports cuts, like NBA TV, MLB Network, CBS Sports Network, and ESPNU are also part of the YouTube TV plan. For $10.99 more a month, upgrade to the Sports Plus plan to get NFL RedZone and six additional sports channels.
