Euro 2025 will be broadcast live by the BBC and ITV after the two broadcasters agreed to share the rights. The tournament will be the first Women’s European Championship to be held since the UK government added the competition to its so-called “crown jewels” list of major sporting events that must be broadcast live, free-to-air. It joined events such as the Olympics and Paralympics, the Grand National and Wimbledon.
Switzerland will host the 16‑team competition which will start on 2 July. England, the defending champions, have qualified for the finals next summer. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will hope to qualify via the playoffs, which begin in October.
