Portugal vs Spain TV channel and live stream: How to watch Nations League final
Arch-rivals Portugal take on Spain tonight in the final of the UEFA Nations League.
The eagerly awaited showdown sees one of the greatest of all-time Cristiano Ronaldo up against the heir to Lionel Messi's crown, Lamine Yamal.
Ronaldo's Portugal won the inaugural Nations League in 2019 and the Manchester United legend scored the winner in the semi-final comeback victory against Germany.
Spain are looking to secure back-to-back titles to go alongside their Euro 2024 victory and booked their place in the final by beating France in a 5-4 thriller.
While only UEFA's secondary competition, it gives us a good indication of who the favourites will be for next summer's World Cup and the final promises to be an action-packed affair.
Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 Nations League final, including how to watch on a TV channel, team news and match odds:
The 2025 Nations League final is being held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, which was also the venue for PSG's Champions League final victory last month.
The match will kick-off tonight at 8pm UK time.
In the UK, ITV1 will be broadcasting the final with their coverage beginning at 7.30pm. You can also stream the action live on ITVX.
If the scores are level after 90 minutes, the final will go to extra-time. If no one can find a winner after the additional 30 minutes, a penalty shootout will decide the Nations League champions.
One change Portugal could make from the semi-final win would be to bring Vitinha, who excelled in the Champions League final, back into midfield alongside Man Utd captain Bruno Fernandes. More Trending
That would push Manchester City's Bernardo Silva into the forward line alongside Ronaldo and Chelsea winger Pedro Neto.
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente suggested he would make no changes to his side for the final despite nearly blowing a 4-0 lead against France.
Spain – 1/2
Portugal – 8/5

Among the familiar faces likely to start are Tottenham and Chelsea full-backs Pedro Porro and Marc Cucurella, and Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino.

Scotland under pressure to secure victory in Vaduz
Scotland face Liechtenstein in a friendly in Vaduz on Monday night. Steve Clarke's side lost 3-1 at home to Iceland on Friday in the first fixture of their June friendly double header. Here are some of the key talking points ahead of the game at the Rheinpark Stadium. The pressure is on Scotland are in dire need of a victory ahead of their World Cup qualifying campaign, which takes place in the autumn against Denmark, Belarus and Greece. Scotland looked like they had turned a corner after a solitary win, against Gibraltar, in 16 matches, when they recorded three impressive Nations League victories in a row. But they followed up by losing six goals in Hampden defeats against Greece and Iceland. Goalkeeper SOS Squad update. IN: Ross Doohan & Callan Angus Gunn & Robby McCrorie.

Doohan has 13 Scotland Under-21 caps to his name and nearly 200 first-team appearances and the 27-year-old looks likely to start to give Slicker some respite.

Football team who top league for replica shirt sales revealed as retro kits also make a comeback
MANCHESTER United may have had one of their worst seasons — but they topped the league for shirt sales at airports. More fans bought Red Devils jerseys than those from the likes of Man City and Liverpool during the Prem season, figures show. 1 Liverpool may have clinched the title but among shoppers at JD Sports outlets at London Stansted and East Midlands, as well as, unsurprisingly, Manchester, their tops were popular enough only for fourth place. United's local rivals Man City ranked second, with England shirts third. Retro also appears to be making a revival, with 1990s England shirts in the top 20. While the Red Devils tops of Bruno Fernandes and Co took top spot overall, there were regional variations. Arsenal kit was the best-seller at Stansted and the Gunners appeared in the top five across all three airports, owned by Manchester Airport Group. Prem strugglers Tottenham were only eighth at Stansted, their nearest airport. They were the fourth-placed London team, also behind Chelsea and West Ham, and were even beaten by Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan across all airports. At East Midlands, the England shirt was No1. MAG communications director Adam Jupp said: 'Airports are always places where people love to show their football allegiances — whether that's fans travelling to fixtures at home or abroad, or international visitors coming to watch world famous teams here in the UK. 'Despite a dismal season, Man United's appeal, across the UK and with inbound tourists, appears to be as strong as ever.'
