Well. Here it is, on our doorstep: the UEFA European Football Championship, AKA Euro 2024.
1,069 days after the final of the previous iteration, Euro 2020 (played in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic), in which England lost against Italy on penalties at Wembley, the slate has been wiped clean.
We’re here to bring you coverage of the tournament that will eventually crown the European champions. But, to get there, we must get through the other 50 games that are being played across a month-long festival of football in Germany.
Oh and, here at The Athletic, we will be bringing you live coverage of every single one of those matches. Up first at Euro 2024, the hosts are in action in Group A as they face Scotland at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena.
11 hours until the two teams kick off the tournament, so sit tight and enjoy all of our pre-match build up.
