Channel 4 has struck a last-minute deal with UEFA to broadcast England's game against Spain in the final of the Under-21s Euros on Saturday.

Lee Carsley's men have progressed to the final with a perfect record in Romania and Georgia, scoring 10 goals without reply in their five games of the tournament so far.

The Under-21s Euros have not been shown by a linear broadcaster in the UK thus far, with fans instead having to stream matches through UEFA's website.

The Young Lions' success has led to Channel 4 winning an eleventh-hour bid for the final, however - reportedly beating a rival offer from the BBC - with its coverage to be presented by Jules Breach.

"Channel 4 has brought a number of historic sporting moments to a free to air audience in recent years and we're delighted that the nation will be able to watch England's Under-21s as they attempt to make their own bit of history against Spain on Saturday," said Ian Katz, C4's chief content officer.

"The Young Lions final will be part of a bumper weekend of sport on Channel 4 with live coverage of qualifying for the British GP earlier on Saturday and the Grand Prix itself on Sunday."

Channel 4's coverage will get underway at 4.45pm on Saturday, with the game kicking off at 5pm.
