How to watch Spain vs England FOR FREE: TV channel and live stream for Nations League today

The stakes are high at the summit of Group A3, where the reigning world and European champions currently boast a three-point advantage after their 2-0 away win over the 10-man Czech Republic on Thursday that extended their long unbeaten streak - active since March 2024 - to an incredible 43 games.

However, England’s superior goal difference means that a victory at the Metropolitano Stadium - home of LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid - would see them snatch top spot in dramatic fashion at the last, theoretically securing an easier quarter-final tie in March as the draw is made in Switzerland on Friday.

Lamine Yamal will no doubt be eager to prove why he should have won football’s most prestigious individual prize in London last month instead, having been declared fit to play by Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente after missing the victory in Prague with a knee injury.

September’s meeting between these two sides was a thriller, with England hitting back from Yamal’s early effort following a Marc Guehi error to lead 2-1 at half-time thanks to goals from Anthony Gordon and Kane, who crucially then missed a penalty awarded following a VAR check after a foul on Jude Bellingham by Rodri.

That set the table for a pulsating and inevitable Spain comeback, with Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal both netting to seal a memorable 3-2 triumph.
