Euro 2024 complete guide: Dates, groups, fixtures, results and more

Plus, the Euro 2024 group tables, guide to England and Scotland matches and TV schedule

Euro 2024 – the 17th edition of the Uefa European Championship – is hosted by Germany this year.
Italy are the defending champions, having won Euro 2020 (which was played in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic) by beating England on penalties at Wembley in the final.
England and Scotland have already confirmed their places at this year’s Euros. Wales agonisingly missed out on qualification as they suffered penalty shoot-out defeat in their play-off final against Poland. 
Georgia qualified thanks to a penalty shoot-out win over Greece – whilst Mykhailo Mudryk scored late as Ukraine defeated Iceland to reach Euro 2024.
England’s preparations have been overshadowed by a kit row after Nike altered the St George’s Cross using purple and blue horizontal stripes in what it called a “playful update” to the shirt ahead of Euro 2024.
Euro 2024 predictor
Euro 2024 starts on June 14, with the group stage running until June 26. The knockouts run from June 29, with the final on July 14 in Berlin. 
The tournament will be held in Germany, with 10 host cities: Dortmund, Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Munich, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Gelsenkirchen. 
As has been the case for some time now, in the United Kingdom the BBC and ITV/STV will share broadcast rights for the European Championship. Matches will be divided across both broadcasters with the final shown on both networks. 
The BBC will show England’s first two European Championship matches against Serbia and Denmark after ITV banked on Gareth Southgate’s men reaching at least the semi-finals.
ITV picked England’s potentially-decisive final Group C game against Slovenia, plus any last-16 fixture involving the Three Lions and any semi-final.
The BBC will show any England quarter-final, with both channels – as always – sharing the final.
The opening match of the tournament between Scotland and hosts Germany will be on ITV, with the BBC picking the Scots’ other Group A games, against Switzerland and Hungary.
If Wales qualify from the play-offs, the BBC will broadcast their Group D games against France and the Netherlands, with ITV showing the other against Austria.
A total of 24 teams will compete at the tournament. Twenty teams have already qualified, with Germany getting an automatic place as hosts. As mentioned earlier, the final three places will be decided via the play-offs.
The top two teams from each group of four will qualify for the round of 16, along with the four best third-place teams. The tournament will then follow a one-leg knock-out format until the champion is crowned in the final.
Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England Group D: Poland, Netherlands, Austria, France Group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine Group F: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Czech Republic
