Euro 2024: Tournament Preview and Schedule

Euro 2024 is upon us as the best teams in Europe square off to determine who will be crowned kings of the continent. Italy are the reigning champions, but nations like England, France, Spain, and Portugal hope to have a significant say in this year's tournament. Hosts Germany cannot be counted out either, with the advantage of playing on home soil.

The action began on June 14 and will conclude on July 14 with the final match. Many of the world's top players will feature this summer, including France's Kylian Mbappe and England's Jude Bellingham, who are expected to shine on this grand stage. Smaller nations like Georgia and Albania hope to spring some surprises, making it a tournament full of potential upsets.

In total, 16 out of the 24 teams in the group stage will advance to the knockout stages, ensuring that the competition remains fierce and unpredictable. Fans can watch all the action on Fubo (try for free).
