How to watch the Euro 2024 tournament on TV in France
From TV schedules to bars, cafés and fan zones, here are your options for watching all matches of the Euro 2024 football tournament in France.
The Euro 2024 tournament kicks off in Germany on June 14th, with 24 teams – including France, England and Scotland – vying for the title currently held by Italy, who beat England in the final at Wembley on penalties last time around.
In April, Nantes launched a public consultation on whether to host a fanzone in Cours Saint-Pierre for the semi-final and final of the competition, if France qualifies – but there are no large-scale fanzones in France for the duration of the competition. Anyone would think authorities in France are a little pre-occupied with another sporting event a little later this summer.
It could happen. France and England are among the favourites to prevent Italy from retaining their European title. Didier Deschamps’ side kick off their challenge on Monday, June 17th, against Austria.
But, for the most part, your best bet for catching a game will be in a bar or cafe with a big-screen TV, or at home.
Broadcasters TF1 and M6 will share the free-to-air broadcast of 25 matches - including all the France games.
The former will broadcast 12 matches, including the first and third group matches of the French team and four other group stage matches. The latter will broadcast 13 matches, including the French team’s second match against Netherlands, on June 21st, and the final, on July 14th.
As is usually the case, coverage of the knockout phase of the tournament has yet to be determined, and schedules will be decided based on agreements between the broadcasters on who gets first choice.
The pay-TV channel beIN sports has won the rights to screen all of the tournament's matches - so any games that you can't find on either TF1 or M6 will be available on beIN (for a fee).
Of the matches so far confirmed, the England and Scotland games are both on free-to-air TV.
Here’s the TV schedule for the remaining pool matches and knockout phase. All times are CET.
