How to watch Euro 2024 on TV and live stream, including BBC and ITV schedules (2024)

The UEFA Euro 2024 tournament is imminent, with a calendar month's worth of men's international football about to commence. That's 51 matches, if you're keeping count.

The tournament, which kicked off on Friday June 14 in Germany, will bring 24 national sides together, including reigning champions Italy and European Championship finals debutants Georgia.

Hosts Germany opened the group stages with a dominant 5-1 win over Scotland on Friday night, while Gareth Southgate's England side have their first match on Sunday (June 16) against Serbia. The entire tournament will be broadcast on free-to-air television in the UK, with the rights shared between the BBC and ITV.

Here's how the schedules for each broadcaster are looking throughout the group stages – including where you can watch England and Scotland's group games.

ITV has the first three picks for the Round of 16 matches, as well as first choice at the semi-finals stage. The BBC has first choice when selecting the quarter-final games, and both broadcasters will air the final.

England's first two Group C games against Serbia on Sunday (Sunday, June 16) and Denmark (Thursday, June 20) will both air on BBC One. Then, it's over to ITV1 for the final England group game against Slovenia on Tuesday, June 25.

Scotland's first Group A game against Germany on Friday, June 14 aired on ITV1, while the BBC has the team's second and third group games against Switzerland (Wednesday, June 19) and Hungary (Sunday, June 23).
