The first match in Group C at the UEFA Euros 2024 tournament should be a close affair, with Slovenia vs Denmark taking place today (June 16), and we'll help you find a way to watch the game. 

Both teams have players that feature across the top European leagues. We have enjoyed plenty of goals so far in the tournament, so hopefully that trend will continue. It is going to be a crucial fixture in a group that also fixtures England. The game is set to kick off shortly,

Footie fans in the UK or New Zealand can watch all the Euros, including Slovenia vs Denmark, for FREE on ITVX in the former and TVNZ in the latter. Don't worry if you're abroad when the games are taking place, tough, because you can watch Euro 2024 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

This is the second time The Dragons have qualified for the Euros. The first time, Euro 2020, they failed to win a single game. This is the sixth time the sides have met and they have lost on five occasions, drawing once. 

The Red and Whites will therefore expect to win this one. There are plenty of players in the squad who Premier League fans will be aware of, not least forward Rasmus Hojlund. His Man Utd teammate Christian Eriksen also starts. It will be particularly emotional to see the midfielder return to the Euros as it was at the previous competition that he suffered a heart attack on the pitch.

Here's how they line up:

Slovenia: Oblak, Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Janza, Stojanovic, Cerin, Elsnik, Sporar, Sesko, Mlakar

Denmark: Schmeichel, Andersen, Christensen, Vestergaard, Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen, Eriksen, Wind, Hojlund
