What TV channel are Euro 2024 matches on in UK?

As has been the case for recent major international tournaments, in the United Kingdom the BBC and ITV/STV will share broadcast rights for the UEFA European Championship in Germany.

BBC and ITV’s main TV channels will broadcast European Championship matches live for free. Games will also be available to watch on BBC iPlayer and ITVX, ensuring that you don’t miss a moment, even while on the go.

The BBC will broadcast England’s opening two games against Serbia and Denmark. ITV picked Gareth Southgate’s side’s potentially important final Group C game against Slovenia, as well as any last-16 game featuring the Three Lions and any semifinal.

The BBC will broadcast any England quarterfinal, with both channels sharing the final, as always.

The opening encounter of the tournament between Scotland and hosts Germany will be shown on ITV, while the BBC will broadcast the Scots’ subsequent Group A games against Switzerland and Hungary.
