Germany is the host of this year's Euros Championship, and it'll host the 24 teams competing for the Henri Delaunay Trophy in 10 stadiums around the country.
England has now announced its provisional 33-man squad, with the big news being that manager Gareth Southgate has left out Marcus Rasthford and Jordan Henderson. Scotland, who kick off the tournament, have also announced their squad, with two uncapped players included — Ross McCrorie and Ben Doak.
The BBC and ITV have also announced who'll be covering the event for them and we have details of the presenters and pundits they're using below.
As one of Europe's biggest sporting events (even if it's brushing up against the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics just two weeks afterward), it's understandable that you'll want to find a way to watch the matches.
You're in the right place — we'll show you how to watch the UEFA Euros 2024 matches, whether you want to watch them on broadcast TV, stream them over the internet or just catch repeats and highlights.
How to watch the Euros 2024 online and on TV in the UK
In the UK, the BBC and ITV share the matches equally between them.
If you've got a TV, the matches will be on the various BBC or ITV channels, but if you'd rather stream online you can use iPlayer and ITVX to stream live TV over the internet, which is handy for its versatility.
In our match schedule below, you'll be able to see whether the BBC or ITV has broadcast rights for the match. At the time of writing, only the group stage games have had their broadcasters announced, but we'll update this article when more comes out.
For those who pay their license fee, both the TV and online options are completely free.
How to watch the Euros 2024 online and on TV in the US
The rights to broadcast the Euros 2024 (and other UEFA matches) in the US falls to Fox, and its sports channels are expected to show many of the games in the tournament. These include the main Fox channel for the biggest games and Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2 for smaller ones.
For Spanish-language coverage the channels Univision and TUDN are also expected to air games.
You can watch Fox's channels using a cable package that includes them or a live TV streaming service that has them in its line-up.
If you want access to Fox, Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2, you'll need to be on Fubo's $89.99-per-month Elite tier, DirecTV's $114.99-per-month Ultimate package or YouTube TV's single $72.99-per-month plan.
If you want to save money, Sling TV Blue ($40 per month), DirecTV Entertainment ($69.99 per month) and Fubo Pro ($79.99 per month) have Fox and FS1, but no FS2.
When the Euros grow close, and channels announce their broadcast schedules, we'll be able to tell you which of the channels each game will be on.
How to watch the Euros 2024 in Australia
In Australia, it's Optus Sport that has the broadcast rights to the Euros 2024 competition. All of the matches will be hosted on the digital streaming service, making it the one-stop home for the entire tournament.

Optus made some of the Euro qualifier matches free to stream, even for non-subscribers, but there's no indication whether it'll do the same for the main tournament.
