Euro 2024 is here and it kicks off with the Germany vs Scotland live stream. The tournament opener takes place in front of a passionate home crowd at Munich's Allianz Arena — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

The hosts, of course, boast a huge amount of talent in their ranks, including legends like Toni Kroos (who is hanging up his boots after the competition) and Thomas Muller. They are accompanied by a host of young talent too. Kai Havertz is set to lead the line in the absence of a top out-and-out striker.
Scotland may not have such high-profile stars but there is plenty of talent in there, not least skipper Andy Robertson and gutsy midfielder Scott McTominay, who always gives his best for his country. The Man Utd player was an injury doubt after missing his side's final warm-up match but is fit to start.
The sides have not met since 2015 but this fixture tends to be dominated by the Germans. The Scots have not beaten them since a friendly back in 1999.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side are among the favourites to lift the UEFA Euro 2024 trophy next month. They will be determined to get what should be a fabulous tournament off to winning ways.
Here's how they line up:
Germany: Neuer, Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Mittelstadt, Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz
Scotland: Gunn, Ralston, Hendry, Porteous, Tierney, Robertson, Christie, McGregor, McTominay, McGinn, Adams

How to watch Germany vs Scotland 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 ITVX and watch Germany vs Scotland live online.
