United Kingdom: BBC & ITV extend their broadcasting rights to Euro 2024 and 2028

The British public broadcaster BBC and the free-to-air television group ITV have extended their UEFA broadcasting rights in the UK via the Swiss agency CAA Eleven for the 2024 and 2028 editions of the Euros, announced the two groups on 09/11/2022.

"The broadcasters will split the rights to each tournament equally, with matches divided between broadcasters until a shared final. This arrangement maintains free to air coverage of the men's UEFA European Championships and reflects the pattern for multiple previous Euros and FIFA World Cups, as well as the forthcoming Qatar World Cup, which begins on 20/11/2022," explained the two groups.

The BBC and ITV have jointly broadcast the Euros since 1988. The European Football Championship is listed in its entirety as a major sporting event in the UK, which must be broadcast on a "free-to-air television service". During Euro 2020, the two groups each broadcast 25 matches exclusively and co-broadcast the final.
