Watch France vs Italy in the 2024 Nations League today, as the European heavyweights, led by Kylian Mbappé and Riccardo Calafiori, face off in a competitive fixture for the first time in 16 years. Below we have all the info on how to watch France vs Italy from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Andrea Pirlo and Daniele De Rossi fired the Azzurri to a 2-0 victory on that occasion, though Les Bleus have won three friendlies since. While the Nations League doesn't carry the same weight as the Euros, both of these teams' lackluster performances in the summer have cranked up the pressure on respective coaches Didier Deschamps and Luciano Spalletti.

While Spalletti still has credit in the bank, thanks to his exploits at Napoli and the fact he's only been at the helm for 12 months, it's frankly astonishing that Deschamps is still in the job. Despite possessing the deepest pool of talent at the Euros, France stunk the tournament out, and Deschamps' has responded by belatedly calling up fleet-footed trickster Michael Olise. Better late than never? 

France team: Maignan, Clauss, Konate, Saliba, T Hernandez, Fofana, Kante, Griezmann, Olise, Barcola, Mbappe

Italy team: Donnarumma, Calafiori, Bastoni, di Lorenzo, Dimarco, Tonali, Ricci, Frattesi, Cambiaso, Pellegrini, Retegui
