Germany couldn’t have got their Euro 2024 campaign off to a better start. Against Scotland, in the opening game of the tournament, they were a goal up within 10 minutes and added a second just before 20 had been played. On the stroke of halftime a penalty, and a red card for Scotland’s Ryan Porteous, put the game beyond doubt, and two goals in the second half added real gloss to the scoreline. Even an own-goal from Antonio Rüdiger couldn’t dampen the party atmosphere among the German fans after such a convincing 5-1 win. 

Meanwhile, Hungary’s first group-stage game didn’t quite go to plan. They struggled to get to grips with a high-intensity Switzerland team and found themselves 0-2 down at halftime. While a second-half goal from Barnabás Varga gave them hope of staging a dramatic comeback, a late goal from Breel Embolo sealed the three points for the Swiss team. While Hungary will fancy their chances against Scotland, to progress from Group A will likely require them to achieve at least a point in this match, adding a dose of additional pressure. 

Here's how they line up:

Germany: Neuer, Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Mittelstadt, Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz

Hungary: Gulacsi, Fiola, Orban, Dardai, Bolla, A. Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez, Sallai, Szoboszlai, Varga

The Germany vs Hungary live stream should be an exciting game. Germany can effectively seal their qualification to the next round with a win, while Hungary will be battling for at least a draw to keep them in contention for the progression to the next round. Here are all the details you need to watch this Euro 2024 group-stage game online and from anywhere.  

Plus, make sure you don’t miss a single moment of the tournament by checking out our guide on how to watch Euro 2024.

Where to watch Germany vs Hungary for free

If you’re normally in one of these countries but happen to be abroad right now, you won’t miss out if you watch using one of the best VPNs. These allow you to watch your go-to streaming wherever in the world you are. Our favorite is NordVPN.

How to watch Germany vs Hungary from anywhere

If you're not in your home country during Euro 2024 and are unable to live stream a game from wherever you are, you can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view your usual U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer and watch Germany vs Hungary live online.

Soccer fans in the U.S. can watch Euro 2024 across the Fox network, with select games on Fubo. The Germany vs Hungary live stream is on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) and the Fox Sports website with a valid login. FS1 may be included in your cable package.

If you've cut the cord and don't have cable, you have plenty of options. Our top pick is Sling TV: the Sling Blue package costs just $45 per month with a discounted first month. It comes with more than 30 channels including FOX (if you have a local Fox Network on Sling) and FS1. 

Fubo is another option. The Pro Plan costs $79 per month but gives you 121 channels, including FOX and FS1, plus lots more for sports fans to enjoy. There will be a small handful of five group-stage games exclusively streaming on Fubo making it the best option if you want to watch every single game of Euro 2024 in the U.S.

If you already use those services but aren't in the U.S. right now, you can watch Euro 2024 live streams by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
