Sweden vs. Belgium, Euro 2016: Start time, TV schedule and online streaming

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is retiring from international play after Euro 2016, so Sweden need to up their game if Wednesday’s match isn’t to be his last.

We could be watching the final international match of Zlatan Ibrahimovic when Sweden try to salvage their Euro 2016 dreams against Belgium on Wednesday. Zlatan is retiring from international football after the Euros are over, and Sweden absolutely must win to have a shot at advancing.

That’s easier said than done, though, because while Belgium struggled in their group opener against Italy, Sweden didn’t play any better against the Italians. Belgium bounced back in a big way in a win over Ireland, while Sweden could only manage a draw in their match against the Irish. On form, there’s not much reason to hope that Sweden will get the win they need -- but if Zlatan turns it up, he could still have another game or two left in his international career.

To watch this match online in the U.S. you’ll be using ESPN3 or WatchESPN. In Belgium, it will be on Sporza Live Streaming, and in Sweden it will be on TV4 Play Premium. For listings in other countries, check out LiveSoccerTV.
