Euro 2024 – the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship – kicks off on Friday, June 14 with Germany vs Scotland. You can watch FREE Euro 2024 live streams across BBC and ITV in the UK and in other countries too. Below we have all the information to watch the football online and TV from anywhere in the world.
Euro 2024 will – for viewers of a European persuasion at least – be the first major international tournament in six years to be played in its intended slot. England, France, Spain and Portugal are among the favorites.
Reigning champions Italy scraped through qualification, but they weren't much fancied at the last Euros either and look how that turned out. They've been drawn into Group B, Euro 2024's Group of Death, with Spain, Croatia and the unfortunate Albania.
Group A could get wild too. Germany have been a shadow of their former selves for several years, but they have home advantage and a top-tier squad. They've been grouped with Hungary, Scotland and Switzerland – three teams on the rise.
Ready to sing up? Here's where to watch Euro 2024 live streams wherever you are – including free live streams.

Can you watch Euro 2024 in 4K HDR?
Sadly, Euro 2024 will not be broadcast in 4K UHD. Nor will the Champions League final, for that matter. Both events will air in 1080p HDR instead.
That's an unfortunate downgrade on where things have been headed with sport shot and broadcast in high resolution. This has been put this down to a lack of interest in 4K broadcasts and the more technically challenging set-up required.
