Euro 2024 has seen several pre-tournament favorites including France and England underwhelm with generally poor performances, but if there’s one top team that has turned up, it’s Spain. Under head coach Luis de la Fuente, Spain cruised through the group stage winning all three games and not conceding a single goal, and their 4-1 demolition of Georgia in the Round of 16 was another impressive showcase of attacking talent. 

Backed by home crowds, Germany have also impressed. A 5-1 opening match victory over Scotland set the standard, and this efficient German side have rarely dipped below it since. The only stumble was a 1-1 draw with Switzerland but even that result looks fairly solid considering the Swiss side's pedigree. Germany will be desperate to progress further as a trophy win on home soil would make these players legends. 

Spain and Germany have been arguably the two strongest teams at Euro 2024, so it almost feels unfair that one of them will be eliminated at this stage, but the upside is we’re in a seriously exciting quarter-final. You won't want to skip Spain vs Germany.

How to watch Spain vs Germany 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 Spain vs Germany live online.
