Football fans won’t have to pay for subscriptions to watch the next two European Championships after the BBC and ITV struck a broadcasting deal.
The broadcasters announced on Wednesday that the 2024 and 2028 Euros will be shown on free-to-air TV. The next edition of the tournament will take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024, while the hosts and format of the following competition are yet to be decided.
BBC and ITV split the coverage of the most recent tournament, which saw England beaten on penalties by Italy in the final at Wembley, and have agreed to maintain the status quo. They will split the broadcasting rights equally between them, both show highlights and cover the final.
