However, broadcaster Amazon Prime Video Sport had a nasty surprise for any fan wanting to watch.
That is because on top of needing to have an Amazon Prime Video subscription - which costs £95 per year or £8.99 a month - fans are also being forced to pay an extra cost.
Amazon announced in March that viewers would be able to watch Nations League games from £2.49, and they could be viewed without a subscription.
But coming to the matches this week, fans were left furious to learn the pay-per-view policy was active, even if you already had a subscription to the streaming platform.

A third added: "I can watch it on a stream but the fact Amazon Prime is charging £2.49 to watch a Nations League match is absurd."
Another said: "£3 pay per view to watch the Nations League on Amazon Prime, a platform you already have to pay for. Games gone," alongside an edited picture of Sean Dyche saying "Utter woke nonsense".

The 17-year-old Barcelona sensation lifted Spain to a thrilling 5-4 win over France by scoring twice, which sent the holders through to their third successive Nations League final where they will face Iberian neighbours Portugal. The contest to lift the prestigious golden ball trophy in September is widely seen as one between Yamal and France forward Ousmane Dembele, with both playing crucial roles for their clubs and countries this season. 'Yamal has made a statement tonight and shown that he should win the Ballon d'Or,' De la Fuente told broadcaster RTVE. 'He's the best player in the world and, in my opinion, of course, he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or.' The 28-year-old Dembele, a former Barcelona man, can boast of the Champions League, Ligue 1, French Cup and French Super Cup titles this campaign, while Yamal has LaLiga, Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup to his name. 'I always say the same thing to mum, that I try to give my all,' Yamal said. 'That is what motivates me and what gets me up in the morning. It is why I play football. It's always best to speak on the pitch. 'Dembele is a great player, we saw that in the Champions League, but I am happy that we're the ones in the final.' The nominees for the 2025 edition of the Ballon d'Or award, which covers August 1-July 31, will be announced at the start of August, with the ceremony taking place on September 22.

She said: "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book." The Grammy nominee, who also shared her ADHD and OCD diagnoses with fans earlier this year, added that she hoped to show solidarity with other cancer patients. She said: "It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse—that's the bit that kills me."

The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS "All jokes aside (You know it's one of the ways I get through hard times) This last 2 months have been so amazing, "And having this go on along side it on the sideline's has given me the most incredible perspective. BUT… Your girl needs a hug. "Also not getting massive t*ts. Or am I? No no… I must stop joking." Health struggles This wasn't the first time Jessie had opened up about her health struggles. Last year, she opened up about her ADHD and OCD diagnoses, which she said were highlighted when she became a mum to her son Sky . She previously said online: 'Having a baby has, let's say… exposed it a lot more which was comforting in a way, as it made it feel less heavy and scary.' "But also in moments has made me feel like I can't talk about it. F*** that. Here I am talking about it." On ADHD, she wrote: 'I feel like it's a superpower as long as you look at it from the right perspective and have the right people around you that can navigate it with you.' "It's made me re think about my whole life," she said. "The way I've been, the way I deal with things. The relationships I have had. How I work and how I love. "It's empowered me and honestly sometimes has overwhelmed me all at the same time. I have always been honest in the journey I'm going through in life.

On In 2021, the Grammy nominated singer also revealed she struggled with acid reflux. Taking to social media she told fans: 'I am doing a reflux acid test for 24 hours (why I have a tube up my nose).

'She's been through some seismic changes in her life over the past couple of years, most notably becoming a mum, and it's inspired her to get back into the studio. 'Jessie spent time writing with 'It has been a long time coming but the timing had to be right. 'She didn't want to keep churning out record after record, and wanted it to feel authentic and real. 'Jessie couldn't be more excited to share what she has been working on with her fans and she will be announcing her first song in the spring.' Jessie's last album, R.O.S.E, was released in four parts in 2018 but failed to have the impact the ex-Voice UK coach had hoped for. In 2023, she split from Republic Records after 17 years and told fans she was looking for a fresh start. Becoming a mum to son Sky was also a driving force.
