Norway vs Spain in Euro 2024 qualifying today has more riding on it than you might think. Sure, Norway are desperate to win to move closer to Spain in Group A's second qualifying spot and Spain know a win puts them level on points with Scotland in top spot. But Scotland will be watching keenly, too. If La Roja draw or win in Oslo, then Scotland qualifies for Euro 2024 without even kicking a ball. Don't miss this one, especially if you're Scottish. Kick-off is 7.45 pm UK today.

The teams are in and Norway's big two, Erling Haaland and Martin Odegaard start in this vital qualifier. Sander Berge starts in the middle of midfield, with Manchester City youngster Oscar Bobb to his right. Orjan Nyland starts in goal. For Spain, meanwhile, Ansu Fati comes in Luis de la Fuente's XI, with Alvaro Morata and Ferran Torres making up the front three. Fabian Ruiz replaces Mikel Merino in midfield, alongside Rodri and Gavi, while Fran Garcia comes in for Alejandro Balde at left-back.

Norway vs Spain is available free on L'Equipe in France, and RTVE in Spain. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on — because you can watch Norway vs Spain from anywhere with a VPN.

How to use a VPN to watch any stream

It's been 23 long years since Norway last qualified for a major tournament. The Lions now have one of the most gifted generations in their history, led by captain Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, but are still to end that two-decade wait. The Manchester City goalbot stuck a brace against Cyprus on Thursday and boss Stale Solbakken will need his talisman again in a must-win fixture if Norway are to avoid having to qualify for Euro 2024 via the dreaded play-offs.

Spain know a win puts them level on points with Scotland but Steve Clarke's side won't mind that that a jot. Following Tuesday's 2-0 win for the 2008 and 2012 European champions over Scotland – Scott McTominay's free-kick controversially ruled out at 0-0 sparking the latter's ire – the Tartan Army know that a point for Spain gives them an unassailable advantage over Norway and qualifies them for Germany next summer. Half of Scotland could be tuning in for this one.

If you're a nerveless Scotland fan and feel able to watch through your fingers, we've got plenty more information below, including a country-by-country list of how to catch all the Norway vs Spain action today, plus a handy guide to explain how to watch if you're traveling abroad at the moment with the use of a VPN.
