England Under-21s and their Cumbrian stars will aim to become kings of Europe on Saturday - and the game is on live TV.

Channel 4 have announced that they will be showing the European Championships final against Spain.

All previous games in the tournament have only been viewable on UEFA's website.

But the showpiece in Georgia, which will involve Cumbrian duo James Trafford and Jarrad Branthwaite with the young Lions, will now be on terrestrial TV.

Channel 4, in a statement, confirmed they were offering exclusive live commentary of the game.

The channel's chief content officer Ian Katz said: "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."

England have won all five of their games en route to the final, with Greysouthen goalkeeper Trafford keeping clean sheets in each match.

He looks certain to start in the final, while Wigton defender Branthwaite has made one appearance so far, in the 2-0 group stage win over Germany.

Lee Carsley's England are hoping to win the Euros for the first time since 1984.

It is their first appearance in the U21 final since 2009.

The game kicks off at 5pm.
