Euro 2020 BBC/ITV coverage split announced

Following last weekend's draw, the BBC and ITV have agreed how they are going to split coverage of next summer's football event.

The BBC has secured the right to show England’s opening group game against Croatia (Sunday 14th June). Wales’ first two group fixtures against Switzerland and Turkey are also live on the BBC. Should both teams progress through their groups, then the BBC will show their knockout games in both the Round of 16 and quarter-finals - the BBC has first choice in both rounds.

Scotland’s opening game and Northern Ireland’s second group game will also be live on the BBC, if they qualify.

ITV will show England’s last two group games, including its game against the Czech Republic as well as Wales’ final game of Group A against Italy and have the first pick of the semi-finals.  ITV will also show standout fixtures between World Cup holders France and Germany (16th June) as well as Portugal v Germany (20th June) and much-fancied Belgium’s matches against Russia (13th June) and Denmark (18th June).

Both BBC and ITV will show the final.

Philip Bernie, BBC Head of TV Sport, says:
 This is a strong selection of games for the BBC, that takes in England and Wales’ opening fixtures, and the first two knock-out games that both these home countries would play. Away from the home nations, we’re delighted to be able to show viewers key games for some of the giants of European football. The BBC will once again be committed to delivering a 24/7 service to our audiences across TV, radio and online ensuring every key moment is unmissable.”

Niall Sloane, ITV Director of Sport, says:
 ITV will be bringing to viewers comprehensive live coverage of some of the biggest matches in what promises to be a special tournament. Euro 2020 looks set to dominate next summer with so many matches being played in Britain and Ireland and the involvement of England, Wales and hopefully more home nations. Our team is looking forward to offering viewers all the action and expert insight across TV, online and social media to make the most of what promises to be a memorable tournament.
