How to watch this week’s Euro 2020 Qualifiers
55 teams. 50 games. 6 days. Here’s how to watch this week’s Euro 2020 Qualifiers final round anywhere in the world
Over the next week, the Euro 2020 Qualifiers will come to a close and we’ll have a better idea of the 24 teams that will take part in Euro 2020. Six teams have already secured their Euro 2020 Qualification – Belgium, Spain, Italy, Russia, Poland and Ukraine.
Gareth Southgate’s side is on the brink of qualification and should easily secure it this week. England two remaining fixtures – against Montenegro at home on Thursday, and against Kosovo away on Sunday.
Meanwhile, neighbours Northern Ireland has a much tougher road ahead. They are currently in third place with matches against group toppers Netherlands and Germany on Saturday and Tuesday.
Wales drew two games against Slovakia and Croatia. They will be eliminated if they lose against Azerbaijan on Saturday. Their final game is against Hungary on 19 November, and they could have the cushion of a play-off spot.
Scotland cannot finish in the top two, but they are guaranteed a playoff spot courtesy of the Nations League. Republic of Ireland‘s qualification comes down to maths. They will need to defeat Denmark by two goals on Tuesday to secure their Euro 2020 spot.
Next year’s marquee football tournament, Euro 2020, will be held in 12 cities across 12 European countries from 12 June to 12 July 2020. The semi-finals and final will be played at England’s national stadium at Wembley.
Former UEFA president Michael Platini said that Euro 2020 is being hosted in several nations as a romantic one-off event to celebrate the 60th birthday of the European Championships. For the first time since 1976, no team will automatically qualify as the host country.
All the Euro 2020 Qualifier games will be shown on television in the UK. While both England’s games over the next week will be on free-to-watch ITV (see section below), all the other games will be shown on Sky Sports. Most of the big games will also be broadcast simultaneously on Now TV Sky Sports Pass.

How to watch the Euro 2020 Qualifiers: use a good VPN service
If you’re away from the UK this week, then your only way to watch the Euro 2020 Qualifiers is to use a VPN. You will first need to purchase one of the VPNs (see below links), then change the location to the UK. The same process works if you’re away from your country and want to watch the European Qualifiers on a streaming service or website that’s broadcasting the games live in your home country.
A VPN helps you geoshift your location so that websites think that you’re browsing from the country you select within the VPN, even though you can be based anywhere in the world. Both the services we mention below also encrypt all your browsing traffic, so no one will ever be able to see what you do online.
