England-Spain will air on La Chaîne L’Équipe

England’s Nations League meeting with Spain will not be carried by L’Équipe Live Foot. Viewers will need to switch to La Chaîne L’Équipe for the match, while the group’s Live Foot service handles the competition’s other fixtures.

The game is scheduled for Saturday at 20:45, during the opening week of the Nations League. It brings together England, who finished third at the World Cup, and Spain, the reigning champions. The contest is billed as a meeting between two of Europe’s three leading teams.

Spain arrive with a strong recent record against major opposition. At the last World Cup, Luis de la Fuente’s side defeated France and Argentina, and they now face another of the tournament’s heavyweight teams. Lamine Yamal is also back in strong form after rediscovering his best level and producing high-quality performances over the past three weeks.

L’Équipe holds the broadcasting rights for Nations League matches that do not involve France. In this case, the England-Spain fixture is being assigned to the main La Chaîne L’Équipe channel rather than the group’s dedicated Live Foot platform.
