How to watch England vs Germany Euro U21 final for free - TV channel and kick-off time

England Under-21s are one win away from reclaiming the European U21 championship title and will lock horns with Germany to decide who wins the trophy.

Victors in 2023, this time around Lee Carsley's side came through a tricky group stage - including a 2-1 defeat to the Germans after knockout round qualification - before eliminating Spain and the Netherlands in fierce contests.

In the semi-finals the Dutch were defeated by two strikes from Liverpool talent Harvey Elliott, one to open the game and the other to finish it off with only five minutes remaining. Now he hopes to finish the tournament in style, after that performance, saying: "Another final, I keep saying it but we need to rest, recover and go again as it’s not over yet.
