Germany v France live stream, Wednesday 27 July, 8pm BST, BBC One
Germany and France meet on Wednesday for the chance to play in the final of the European Women’s Championship.
Germany defeated a determined Austrian team in the last eight to reach the semi-finals for a record 10th time. The continent’s eight-time queens have gone somewhat under the radar in the build-up to the tournament, possibly because the Germans have shown signs of decline in recent times and also because of the progress made by other national teams. in the same period of time.
Nationalelf have shown they are still one of the most dominant teams in women’s football over the past three weeks. They began their campaign by beating Denmark 4-1 in their first match. Spain was beaten the next day.
After Finland’s win, Germany topped Group B. Germany beat Austria last time out. They have yet to concede a goal in this tournament.
France also started in stunning fashion, demolishing Italy 5-1 with each of their goals scored within the first 45 minutes. They finished the group stage with seven points out of nine, and later defeated the Netherlands in the quarter-finals thanks to a penalty kick goal from Eve Perisset in the first period of extra time.
There were doubts about France’s team spirit going into the summer, but Corinne Diacre’s side have managed to hold it together so far. They have had to contend with adversity along the way, not least the loss to injury of star striker Marie-Antoinette Catoto, but les Bleues are still in good form with Euro 2022 just days away.
It will be an entertaining, absorbing contest between two of the most successful national teams in women’s soccer. Based on their performances to date this month, whichever team from Germany or France is selected will be an impressive finalist.
The match starts at 8pm BST Wednesday 27 July. The game will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website in the UK. Below are the international broadcast options.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for a round of Euro 2022 matches, then it’s a shame your local on-demand services aren’t working, as the broadcaster knows where you are based on your IP address (boo!) . You’ll be banned from watching the event, which isn’t optimal if you’ve already paid for a subscription and still want to catch the action without having to use illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But help is on the way. To get around it, just get yourself a virtual private network (VPN), as long as it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning that the service cannot identify the location of your device and does not automatically block the service you have paid for. All data exchanged between the two devices and the Internet is encrypted.
