BBC and ITV agree broadcast deal for Euro 2025

BBC Sport and ITV have agreed a deal to broadcast next year's Women's European Championship.

Every match of the tournament, which begins 2 July, will be shown in the UK on either the BBC or ITV, with the final on 27 July available on both channels.

Alongside live TV coverage and highlights across the BBC and iPlayer, radio commentary will also be available on BBC Radio 5 Live and 5 Sports Extra.

England head to Switzerland as defending champions after securing qualification for Euro 2025 with a 0-0 draw against Sweden in July.

The Lionesses' win over Germany in the final of Euro 2022 was watched by more than 17m viewers on BBC One.

Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will seek to qualify via the play-offs, which resume in October.

Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said the BBC was "committed to bringing the nation together for the biggest sporting moments".

He added: "We're excited that we can bring another major tournament to audiences next summer across the BBC."

Meanwhile, ITV director of sport Niall Sloane said the broadcaster was aiming to build on the success of its Women's World Cup coverage last year.
