The Lionesses face a tough start as they attempt to defend the title they won three years ago. Sarina Wiegman’s side have struggled for consistency of late, as was shown in the Nations League when a 6-0 win over Portugal was sandwiched between defeats to Belgium and Spain. Now they face a huge challenge to even get out of the group and will need a strong performance to overcome a talented French outfit.

After topping qualifying ahead of England, Les Bleues arrive in Switzerland as one of the tournament favorites. Laurent Bonadei’s side is packed with attacking talent and are in red-hot form, having won all six of their Nations League matches this year, conceding just two goals in the process. With tough games against the Netherlands and Wales to come, they’ll be targeting a statement victory over the reigning champions

You can still watch England vs France live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). This software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for soccer fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN.

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 away from the U.K. and want to view your U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITVX or another service and watch the game.
