Where to watch England vs Spain: Live stream, TV channel, odds for 2023 UEFA Euro U21 final

England have reached their first UEFA European Under-21 Championship final since 2009, with Lee Carsley's side to take on Spain on July 8.

The Young Lions have been superb in the tournament, winning five games from five and not conceding a goal on route to their showdown with La Rojita.

However, Spain have real pedigree in this competition: they are the joint-most successful nation at European U21 level, alongside Italy, with five titles.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this huge clash for some of England and Spain's emerging young stars.

What time does England vs Spain kick off?

The UEFA Euro Under-21 final at the Adjarabet Arena in Batumi, Georgia kicks off on Saturday, July 8 at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Here's how that time translates across some of the major territories:

England vs Spain live stream, TV channel

USA:The 2023 UEFA European Championship is available to watch via the CBS Sports Network with streaming options on Fubo, Paramount+ and ViX.

Canada/Australia:With no national broadcaster in these nations carrying the tournament, fans can access each match via UEFA TV.

UK: A late agreement means Channel 4 will broadcast the match on free-to-air TV. Fans can stream the final through Channel 4's online offering or via UEFA TV.

England vs Spain lineups

Carsley is boosted by the return from suspension of Max Aarons and Ben Johnson but Aston Villa star Jacob Ramsey is still sidelined through injury.

With the option of talent on the bench, including Harvey Elliott and Noni Madueke, Carsley is expected to keep faith with much of the team that beat Israel 3-0 in the last four.
