Spain vs Italy: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch UEFA Nations League semi-final

Italy will be looking to exact revenge on Spain, this time in the Nations League semi-final clash to be played in Enschede on Thursday.

La Roja had defeated the Italians at the same stage in the previous edition of the competition, going on to finish runner-up to France in the final, while the Azzurri eventually beat Belgium to bag the third place.

After pipping Portugal to the top spot in the Nations League group stage from League A Group 2, Spain were knocked out by Morocco at the World Cup. Whereas, having failed to qualify for the world event held in Qatar in 2022, Italy would finish atop League A Group 3 in the Nations League.

Here GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Without Sergio Busquets, Pedri or even Ferran Torres, Spain boss Luis de la Fuente has six players in his squad from the 2021 Nations League finals and has recalled Jordi Alba into the mix.

Fran Garcia has been brought in to replace the injured Juan Bernat.

Dani Olmo is a doubt due to a muscle problem sustained in training, as Robin Le Normand would love to make his debut after attaining his Spanish citizenship.
