England Face Their Toughest Challenge Yet<\/h3>\n

The Three Lions’ Euro 2020 campaign has been fantastic so far.<\/p>\n

The group stage saw them go unbeaten, emerging with seven points and no goals conceded.<\/p>\n

England then built on this in their first knockout match, emerging victorious against 2014 World Cup winners Germany in what turned out to be a relatively comfortable game.<\/p>\n

After easing past Ukraine 4-0 in the quarter-finals, the Three Lions faced their toughest challenge yet in Denmark. The Danes put up a valiant fight, opening the scoring with the tournament’s first goal from a direct free-kick, but, with striking resemblance to England’s 2018 World Cup semi-final defeat to Croatia, the team who took the lead with a first-half free-kick ended up losing in extra-time.<\/p>\n

Now, Gareth Southgate’s men must face Italy, who have already beaten the likes of Belgium<\/a> and Spain, in the biggest sporting event of the year.<\/p>\n

Which Channel Has Broadcasted England’s Best Performances?<\/h3>\n

BBC One has played televised host to England’s most impressive performances during this year’s Euros.<\/p>\n

The channel broadcasted the Three Lions’ solid start to the competition where they beat 2018’s World Cup finalists Croatia 1-0, and then showed their round-of-16 and quarter-final fixtures, which England won 2-0 and 4-0 respectively.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Three Lions have seen less success when their matches have been screened on ITV.<\/p>\n

ITV aired Southgate’s side’s dull 0-0 draw with Scotland–the only match thus far that they have failed to win–followed by their 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic and the nervy 2-1 semi-final triumph over Denmark.<\/p>\n

What Channel is England vs Italy On?<\/h3>\n

In the United Kingdom, the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy will be shown both on BBC One, whose coverage is scheduled to start at 7 pm, and ITV, with their build-up to the match starting at 6:30 pm. It is also available to stream live on BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub.<\/p>\n

With England’s knockout games having seen a steady rise in viewership, the semi-final against Denmark attracting over 27 million viewers at its peak in the most-watched televised event of the year, it is reasonable to expect that the final will be even more popular.<\/p>\n
