Euro 2024 is now just a matter of days away as all eyes switch to Germany after another enthralling campaign of club football.

The groups and fixtures of Euro 2024 have been drawn and confirmed, meaning the official schedule is now set in stone with each team learning their potential routes to the final.

As with most international tournaments, games will be held at specific times each day in order to optimise the efficiency of a crowded group stare schedule.

What time do Euro 2024 games kick off in the US?

Friday's curtain raiser in Berlin between Germany and Scotland is set to kick off at 8pm BST, a slot that will be filled daily throughout the group stage.

Moving forward, the tournament introduces three games per day, kicking off at 2pm and 5pm - both BST.

As the group stage ends, so do the three-game days. With few fixtures to pack in, the tournament switches to two games per day, held at 12pm EDT and 3pm EDT.
