Are England playing at Euro 2024 today? How to watch, TV, streaming options

Euro 2024 glory is now the goal for Gareth Southgate's England, who are now settled in Germany for the latest edition of the continental championships after a mixed warm-up period in front of the home crowd.

Runners-up to Italy under the Wembley arch in 2021, the Three Lions have been heralded as one of the tournament favourites, although the likes of the Azzurri, France, Portugal and hosts Germany will have a thing or two to say about that.

Not since conquering the globe at the 1966 World Cup have England's men's team come up trumps in a major tournament, and the Three Lions now bid to emulate their female colleagues, who won Euro 2022 at the home of English football.

Placed in Group C alongside Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia, England commenced their latest quest for European stardom with a 1-0 triumph against the latter on June 16 to move one game away from a first-placed finish.

However, Southgate's team let that opportunity pass them by in a forgettable 1-1 draw against Denmark, leaving it all to play for when they do battle with Slovenia in their last group fixture.

England are not playing today, as Southgate's team are now in recovery mode following their disappointing stalemate with Denmark on Thursday afternoon.

Harry Kane's strike set the Three Lions on their way to an early last-16 qualification, but Morten Hjulmand's long-range rocket deservedly drew the Danes level against their lacklustre foes.

The Three Lions will now be recuperating until June 25, when they conclude Group C against Slovenia at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.

One day before England's defeat to Iceland on June 7, Southgate announced his final 26-man selection for the European Championships, dropping seven players from his initial 33-strong preliminary setup.

Among the big names cut was Harry Maguire, who failed to recover from a calf injury in time for the Euros, and Manchester City's Jack Grealish, who paid the price for a poor domestic campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur's James Maddison was also axed, as were Jarrad Branthwaite, James Trafford, Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah, although the latter is still on standby should any more injuries occur.

The Liverpool man may have had a glint in his eyes after John Stones and Marc Guehi sustained injuries in a recent friendly loss to Iceland, but both changes were precautionary from Southgate, whose players are now being put through their paces as their German training camp.

There was a minor scare over Stones after England's arrival, though, as the Manchester City man came down with an illness and had to be confined to his bedroom to avoid the spread, but he made a rapid recovery and started against Serbia.

Stones formed part of an expected England XI for the battle with the Eagles, where Trent Alexander-Arnold also started in the engine room alongside Declan Rice, while Bukayo Saka was up to his usual tricks on the right.

Captain Kane also became the man with the most-ever Euros appearances for England with 12, but Luke Shaw was kept waiting for his comeback from a muscular problem, failing to make it off the bench.

The Manchester United man was also missing from the draw with Denmark, where Southgate put out an unchanged lineup, but some alterations could very well be in the offing against Slovenia.
