Can I watch Netherlands – Spain online (Nations League) (March 20 & 23, 2025)? Where? When?
We are ready for the final round of the Nations League, and most people agree that the matches between Spain and the Netherlands will be the highlights of the quarter-final round. The first match is played in Rotterdam on March 20 and the second match in Valencia on March 23. If you want to stream the matches online, this is what you must do!
We have some great news to you! Both the matches between Netherlands and Spain will be broadcasted live on NPO3 in the Netherlands. This is a free TV channel, for those who live in the Netherlands. It is free also for those living outside the Netherlands, but there is a requirement that you are located in the Netherlands if you want to access the live stream. So, what can you do if you live somewhere else, but still want to stream the matches without paying on NPO3 in the Netherlands? I am about to give you the answer!
Watch Netherlands – Spain on March 20 and Spain – Netherlands on March 23 on NPO3 in the Netherlands worldwide!
You need to make NPO3 believe that you are in the Netherlands. The general strategy to accomplish this is to use a VPN. But, NPO has been known to make it hard for VPN services to give access to the service, which means, most VPN services and their IP address are blocked. In other words, even though you have an actual IP address in the Netherlands provided by a VPN provider, you will still see all sorts of error messages telling you that the live stream from the football matches is unavailable.
If you see the message above, it is most likely because you are abroad and you are trying to access an NPO3 live stream without a Dutch IP address.
But, if you want to get rid of this message and use a VPN that will actually give you access to the live streams of all the NPO channels, no matter where you are in the world, then you need to use the VPN services of Surfshark.
Surfshark has a great offer available right now in which you get an 86% discount on their Surfshark Starter package if you purchase a 2-year plan! That is a brilliant offer. And by the way, they have more expensive packages, but the Surfshark Starter package is more than enough to bypass geo regulations and to stream the matches between Netherlands and Spain online.
After you have purchased a Surfshark subscription (on which you have a 30-day full refund policy), it is time to download the VPN application. This is available for all the big platforms, meaning that you can use Surfshark on your computers, mobilephones, tablets, and even on your smart TV. It is also a nice feature that you can use one subscription on multiple devices simultaneously.

Which players should you watch out for in the matches?
In the upcoming UEFA Nations League quarter-final matches between the Netherlands and Spain on March 20 and March 23, several players are expected to have significant impacts:
Netherlands:
- Memphis Depay: The 31-year-old striker from Corinthians returns to the national squad after an eight-month absence. With 98 caps and 46 goals, Depay is closing in on Robin van Persie’s record of 50 goals for the Netherlands.
- Frenkie de Jong: Despite recent fitness concerns, coach Ronald Koeman has confirmed that the FC Barcelona midfielder is fit and ready for the matches against Spain. (cadenaser.com)
- Virgil van Dijk: The Liverpool defender’s leadership and defensive prowess will be crucial, especially with the absence of other key defenders due to injuries.
Spain:
- Rodri: The Manchester City midfielder has taken on a pivotal role following Sergio Busquets’ international retirement. His ability to control the tempo and break up opposition plays makes him indispensable.
- Joselu: Since his debut in 2023, the forward has been a reliable goal scorer for Spain, contributing to their UEFA Nations League victory and Euro 2024 triumph.
- Dean Huijsen: The 19-year-old Bournemouth defender has received his first senior call-up, replacing the injured Iñigo Martínez. Originally from the Netherlands, Huijsen’s selection adds an intriguing narrative to the matchup.
Both teams have had to adjust their squads due to injuries, but the presence of these key players ensures a competitive and thrilling contest in the upcoming fixtures.
Which team will win?
It is hard to say that the Netherlands is the favorites, considering that Spain has been by far the best team in Europe recently, and they won the European Championship in football in 2024, impressing us all throughout the entire tournament.
We cannot say anything for sure, but if we are to guess, Spain will win… but we do hope that the Netherlands will surprise and give them a really tough fight and maybe even manage to reach the semi-final in the Nations League, even though they are the underdog in both matches.
