Portugal vs Czech Republic Euro 2024: Kick-Off Time, Live Stream, Lineups

Match Preview

UEFA Euro 2024 kicks off on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, with Portugal facing off against the Czech Republic.

The match will be played at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany, and will kick off at 3:00 PM CEST. It will be the fourth meeting between the two sides at the UEFA EURO since 1996. Only Italy and Spain have met more often during that time.

Portugal will be looking to start their Euro 2024 campaign with a win and will be confident of doing so, having won their last three matches against the Czech Republic.

The Portuguese are ranked 8th in the FIFA World Rankings, while the Czech Republic is ranked 32nd. Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo, who retired from international football after the 2022 World Cup. However, they still have a number of talented players in their squad, including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Joao Felix.

The Czech Republic will be hoping to cause an upset and will be looking to their star player, Patrik Schick, to lead the line. Schick scored five goals at the 2021 European Championship and will be hoping to add to his tally this summer.

The match is expected to be a close one, and it could go either way. Portugal will be the favorites, but the Czech Republic has the quality to cause an upset.

You can watch the match live on television or online. The match will be streamed live on UEFA.tv and on the DAZN app.
