The European Championship, or Euro 2024, is set to commence on June 15 with the group stage opener between Germany and Scotland, followed by the second match between Hungary and Switzerland.
For fans looking to watch the major matches for free, there’s a lesser-known channel that many football enthusiasts might not be aware of.
Those who aren’t traveling to Germany to see their favorite teams in action are making plans to watch the games at home or with friends.
Sportbible reports that in the UK, the BBC and ITV will share the broadcasting rights, as is customary for European Championships and World Cups.
The BBC is launching a new iPlayer Euros channel for football fans, which will broadcast the 27 games shown on BBC One and BBC Two. This channel will also feature analysis, highlights, reports, and other supporting segments beyond the live sports.
According to an announcement from BBC Sport, the Euros coverage will be hosted by Gary Lineker, Alex Scott, Gabby Logan, and Mark Chapman.
England’s first match is scheduled against Serbia on June 16, with their second match against Denmark on June 20. Both matches will be available to watch on the BBC.
