A place in the Nations League final is on the line as Spain and France lock horns to see who will go one step closer to international silverware.
The two nations, laden with youthful superstars, will look to make a statement in the competition ahead of next year’s World Cup held across the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Powered by newly-crowned Champions League winners Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue, France will hope to get one over on the Euro 2024 winners on neutral ground as the two sides clash at Stuttgart’s MHPArena.
The victors on the night will face the winner of the first semi-final on Wednesday, which pitted Portugal against Germany.
Here’s everything you need to know.
The Nations League semi-final between Spain and France kicks off at 8pm BST on Thursday 5 June at the MHPArena in Stuttgart.
Viewers can watch the Nations League match live on Amazon Prime, with coverage of the game available to watch on pay-per-view for £2.49.

Spain have called up new Real Madrid centre-back Dean Huijsen fresh off his departure from Bournemouth, meaning he could start. But due to the fact the game takes place less than a week out from the Champions League final, PSG midfielder Fabian Ruiz could be rested.
France face a bigger selection problem should the Nations League clash come too soon for those who competed in Munich, with PSG quintet Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Warren Zaire-Emery and Lucas Hernandez all potentially restricted to bit-part roles. Inter Milan duo Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard may also have limited involvement.
Spain XI: Simon; Porro, Cubarsi, Huijsen, Cucurellla; Olmo, Zubimendi, Merino; Yamal, Morata, Williams.
France XI: Maignan; Gusto, Konate, Kalulu, Hernandez; Guendouzi, Tchouameni, Rabiot; Olise, Kolo Muani, Mbappe.
Spain to progress 11/8
France to progress 15/8
