UEFA Euro 2020 is just around the corner and we want to make sure you don’t miss a second of it
UEFA Euro 2020Â is nearly here and we can’t quite contain ourselves. Yes, we know it’s happening in 2021, but that’s the name and they’re sticking with it, so give it a rest. It feels like we’ve been waiting forever but, at last, it’s really happening.
With this year being a multinational affair that will see the competition tour around the continent before reaching the business end at Wembley Stadium – which has the most games among any of the European hosts – it kind of feels like a home tournament.
Still, with numbers in stadiums limited – for now at least – most of us will be watching from the comfort of our homes or the pub, so you’ll need to know when and where every match will be aired.
Below is a comprehensive list of every group game, when they’re on and what channel they’ll air on. As the tournament progresses, the timings and channels for the knockout games will be updated as well.

Here’s hoping one of our British boys makes it all the way to the end.
