Every four years, Europe's best football teams come together to play for the Henri Delaunay Trophy, and this time around Germany will host the month-long tournament across ten stadiums.
As per usual grand total of 24 teams are competing this year, including the hosts, defending champs Italy and many other nations, and you can find a full list 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.
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.
An Optus Sport subscription costs $24.99 per month or $199 for an entire year's subscription. However if you're an Optus customer for its phones or broadband, you can get a discounted monthly price, with it costing just $6.99 each month.
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.
How to watch the Euros 2024 online and on TV everywhere else
If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch the Euros, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your favorite shows, movies, sports or other content even if you're not there.
