Gabby Logan, Gary Lineker and Alex Scott

Broadcasting will come from a studio in the heart of Berlin with live match commentary from all 10 host cities across Germany

Hello everyone!

My name is Steve Lyle and I am the BBC's head of football.

We've been working hard on our planning and preparation so we can bring you the very best coverage of Euro 2024.

Now it is about to get under way, I wanted to give you a rundown on what we have to offer.

Obviously, you are reading this on the BBC Sport website or app so hopefully you know a lot about that already. It’s the 24/7 home of the tournament, providing you with live coverage, shortform clips, journalism, analysis and fun stuff like quizzes.

We’ve got our brilliant live TV coverage, and more than ever before on iPlayer (classic matches, anyone?), while in audio, 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds have a mix of commentaries and superb podcasts (don’t miss the Euros Football Daily).

So read the below and all that is left to say is: 'Enjoy the Euros!'
