Watch Eventing European Championships on BBC

- Published
Great Britain will defend their European title on home soil at Blenheim Palace this weekend – and you can watch the action live on BBC Sport.
Eventing involves all three equestrian disciplines of dressage, cross country and show jumping, with the lowest cumulative score from all three disciplines deciding the winner.
Double Olympic team gold medallists Laura Collett and Tom McEwen lead a strong British team, who are looking to secure their third consecutive European team gold medal.
Reigning world champion Yasmin Ingham and two-time individual silver European medallist Piggy March make up the British team challenge.
Former junior European champion Bubby Upton and 2024 Pau five-star winner Caroline Harris make their senior team debuts as individual competitors.
Upton 26, broke her back in August 2023 following a schooling accident at home and was told there was a chance she would never walk again. However, following successful surgery Upton has made a triumphant return to top-level competition, including winning Bramham Horse Trials in June 2025.

Germany's three-time Olympic champion Michael Jung is a favourite for the individual title with Paris ride fischerChipmunk FRH.
Jung heads a competitive European field with representatives from 17 nations, including Turkey's first ever rider at a European Eventing Championships, Kumru Say.
Great Britain are without defending European champion and Olympic gold medal winning team-mate Ros Canter. Canter 39, withdrew from selection after announcing her pregnancy with her second child in August following a hat-trick of five-star wins in 2025.
Blenheim Palace last hosted the European Eventing Championships in 2005, when British royal family member Zara Tindall was crowned individual champion and Britain won the team title.
Live coverage of the championships is on BBC iPlayer as well as the BBC Sport website and app.
