Next at Euro 2024
We've made it! After 36 group games from the brilliant (Georgia) to the insipid (England), come the instant jeopardy of knockout football. And, fittingly, it's champions Italy who get the round of 16 underway. So far, they've looked a far from vintage Azzurri side – going behind in 23 seconds to Albania, losing to Spain and needing an injury time equalizer to draw with a leggy Croatia. Switzerland, on the other hand, have looked positively zippy and would have topped Group A had Germany not managed their own stoppage time goal.
The hosts have looked less impressive as the tournament has gone on. Their statement thrashing of Scotland on the first night has been followed by a fairly humdrum win over Hungary and then that draw against the Swiss. With echoes of the 1992 final, they'll be desperate to avoid a surprise defeat to an average-looking Denmark side on Saturday.

Free Euro 2024 live streams
The European Championships and World Cup remain free to watch in the UK, with the BBC and ITV sharing matches between them.
That means you can watch every Euro 2024 match online on either of BBC iPlayer or ITVX, both of which are completely free to stream live and on catch-up (assuming you have a valid TV licence).
Both services can be watched on laptops, smartphones and have apps for a wide array of streaming devices and games consoles.
Plenty of other competing European countries also have live coverage, including hosts Germany (Das Erste, ZDF, RTL), Austria (ORF, Servus), Belgium (RTBF, VRT), France (TF1), Italy (Rai Sport ), the Netherlands (NOS) and Spain (RTVE).

Watch Euro 2024 live stream from anywhere
You won't be able to watch your regular Euro 2024 live streams while traveling abroad. The streaming service will spot that you're in a foreign country and block you.
You can use a VPN (virtual private network) to get around this, though. It's a straightforward piece of software that sets your device to appear as if it's in a different country, allowing you to watch any Euro 2024 live stream from anywhere in the world.
We rate NordVPN as the best VPN for streaming sport. It offers a 30-day guarantee for all your money back if you're not happy with the service.
Watch Euro 2024 live streams 2024 in the US
Soccer fans in the US can watch Euro 2024 live on Fox Sports (through Fox and FS1), which can be accessed through cable or cord-cutting services like Sling TV and Fubo. There are no long contracts with either service. If you're not happy with them, you can cancel them at any time.
Sling TV includes Fox and FS1 in select markets on its Blue package, with new customers getting their first month half price (and only $45 a month after that).
Fubo's base tier gets you well over 100 channels (including Fox, FS1, NBC and ESPN) and cloud DVR with thousands of hours of space to store shows. Prices start at $79.99 a month. Plus, there's a free trial of Fubo too.
Of course, Sling and Fubo are only available within the States so be sure to use a VPN if you're a US subscriber stuck abroad. We recommend NordVPN, as it's reliable and comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I watch Euro 2024 in 4K UHD?
Unlike most high profile sports tournaments these days, this year's European Championship unfortunately won't be broadcast in 4K UHD.
It is understood that the cost of producing 4K footage isn't matched by demand, with many people watching live sport events on devices that don't carry 4K integration.
There is a possibility that coverage could be 'upscaled' to 4K, which would be some small consolation to viewers with 4K TVs. This will be the decision of each host broadcaster. Otherwise it'll be your on 4K TVs doing the upscaling leg work.
Watch Euro 2024 in HDR
Although there will be no 4K, matches from Euro 2024 will be produced in HDR – or single-layer 1080p50 HDR (hybrid log-gamma, HLG) to be precise.
HDR (standing for High Dynamic Range) is an improvement on non-HDR pictures thanks to its ability to deliver more accurate colours and better contrast. So although you won't get to enjoy the pin-sharp detail of 4K, it should still enhance your Euro 2024 watching experience.
