How to watch Serbia v England at Euro 2024: TV channel, kick-off time, free live stream and team news

England are set to kick off their Euro 2024 campaign in Germany with a clash against Serbia in Group C.

The Three Lions had success in the previous European Championships, reaching the final before a cruel defeat to Italy on penalties at Wembley.

The whole nation will be hopeful of going one step further and winning the tournament this time, ending a trophy drought dating back to 1966.

Gareth Southgate will be looking for a positive result from the opening match against Serbia to get this summer’s tournament up and running.

The Eagles will want to cause an upset on one of the biggest international stages though, qualifying for the Euros for the first time since being declared an independent nation.

With stars such as Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic to be wary of, it could be a tricky test of England’s tournament credentials.

So with that said, here’s a look at all the details you need to know about Serbia v England at Euro 2024.
