UEFA EURO 2020 match schedule fixtures venues and 2021 tournament
After being postponed because of Covid-19 pandemic, the revised dates were approved by the UEFA Executive
Check out the full fixture list for the Euro 2020 last 16 knockout round with 8 matches: Kick-off time, Venues, TV Channels.
Saturday 26 June
1: Wales vs Denmark (18:00, Amsterdam)
Denmark’s win against Russia has been the best moment of the tournament by far. With star player Christian Eriksen recovering from the frightening cardiac arrest he suffered on the field in Denmark’s first game of the tournament, Denmark beat Russia 4-1 to assure themselves a spot in the knockout rounds after losing to Finland and Belgium to start group play. Wales, meanwhile, finished second in Group A after tying Switzerland and beating Turkey.
2: Italy vs Austria (21:00, London)
Italy has been one of the two most convincing teams of the tournament so far. The Italians scored seven goals in their three group stage games and didn’t give up a single goal. Austria beat Ukraine and North Macedonia to easily advance to the knockout rounds.
Sunday 27 June
3: Netherlands vs Czech Republic (18:00, Budapest)
The Netherlands ran rampant over Group C. The Dutch scored the most goals of anyone in the group stage (eight) and posted shutouts in their last two games after beating Ukraine 3-2 to open the tournament. The Czech Republic got through as the third-place team in Group D thanks to a tie against Croatia and an opening win against Scotland.
4: Belgium vs Portugal (21:00, Seville)
The Netherlands ran rampant over Group C. The Dutch scored the most goals of anyone in the group stage (eight) and posted shutouts in their last two games after beating Ukraine 3-2 to open the tournament. The Czech Republic got through as the third-place team in Group D thanks to a tie against Croatia and an opening win against Scotland.
Monday 28 June
5: Croatia vs Spain (18:00, Copenhagen)
Croatia got off to a slow start with a loss to England and a tie against the Czech Republic but defeated Scotland to finish second in Group D. The reward is a game against Spain after Spain tied its first two games of the tournament. Spain made up for all its wasteful chances against Sweden and Poland by scoring five goals against Slovakia on Wednesday.
6: France vs Switzerland (21:00, Bucharest)
France will probably be the biggest favorites in the Round of 16. The defending World Cup champions got a win and two ties in the group stage while Switzerland beat Turkey on Sunday to ensure their participation in the knockout rounds. France is pragmatic and can also score in the blink of an eye. Just ask Portugal.
Tuesday 29 June
7: England vs Germany (18:00, London)
Whew, what a matchup to begin the last day of the Round of 16. Germany got through to the knockout rounds by tying Hungary in the final minutes on a Leon Goretzka goal. England is looking for its first major trophy since winning the 1966 World Cup. Both teams have expectations that are perhaps larger than they should be and there will be a lot of questioning in the loser’s home country.
8: Sweden vs Ukraine (21:00, Glasgow)
It’ll be a gorgeous battle of gold and blue kits at the very least. Sweden doesn’t play the most attractive soccer but scored three times against Poland to win Group E ahead of Spain. Ukraine has been one of the more fun teams of the tournament and it’s cool to know that one of these two teams is guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals.
Rest days on 30 June and 1 July
Scroll down for all the ways you can watch Euro 2020 online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the tournament, you probably won't be able to watch the footy like you normally would at home, according to TechRadar.
ExpressVPN is the world's top VPN right now
We've taken the time to try out all the biggest VPN providers and we found ExpressVPN to be the best of the bunch. It works with lots of devices and offers super fast connections across its many servers. It's compatible with loads of devices including iOS, Android, Amazon Fire Stick, PlayStation, Apple TV and such, and we found it secure, speedy and simple-to-use.
Throw in its robust security features, and ExpressVPN is the best all-round VPN for streaming - and perhaps best of all, it has a 30-day money back guarantee plus 3 months FREE when you subscribe for a year.
Once you've downloaded the software, just follow the prompts to install it then select the location you want to relocate your IP address to - it really is that easy.
This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in. Don't sweat it, though, as you've got the option of using a VPN to tune to your preferred coverage wherever you are.
The great news for football fans based in the UK is that, as ever, you can watch Euro 2020 FREE onlinefor every single game of the tournament!
2021 Euro coverage is being split equally between the BBC and ITV, and both broadcasters will show the final.
The BBC is showing two of Wales' group games and the huge England vs Scotland clash, with ITV set to show two each of England and Scotland's group games.
If you're trying to watch online (either live or on catch-up), you can easily get a free Euro 2020 live stream on the BBC iPlayer and ITV Hub websites or mobile apps - just make sure you possess a valid TV license.
ESPN and ABC are providing comprehensive coverage of Euro 2020 in the US. If you have them as part of a cable package, you'll be able to stream games directly through the ESPN website and the ABC website.
Cord-cutters are in luck, too, as you can get both channels without having an expensive cable package. And the best value out there is Sling TV.
Sling will be showing all the matches as ESPN is included as part of its Sling Orange package, and ABC game swill be simulcast on ESPN3 that's also in the deal. Usually, it would cost you $35 a month, but right now Sling TV has a special offer where you get the first month for only $10. An absolute bargain
Another solid option is fuboTV. It's a complete end-to-end cable replacement service, which offers ESPN, ABC and over 120 other channels on plans starting from $64.99 a month - after you take advantage of its FREE FuboTV trial offer, of course.
New or existing subscribers to US streaming services can still access the platform of their choice from abroad, too - all you need is the help of a good VPN.
In Australia, there's only one place to tune into Euro 2020, with Optus Sport set to show all 51 matches of the tournament.
Optus coverage can be streamed via mobile and tablet with the channel's app, while cord-cutters can also access the service on Fetch TV, Chromecast or Apple TV.
And if you leave Oz at any point during the tournament, simply use a VPN to tune in as normal on your Optus account.
Soccer fans with a cable subscription can watch Euro 2020 on TSN and French-language channel TVA Sports.
Better still, these channels will let you watch games online, too - either by registering with details of your pay TV provider, or by signing up for a standalone streaming package.
The TSN Direct streaming service can be had from just $7.99 a day or (much better value) $19.99 a month and can be purchased by anyone - regardless of whether you have the channel as part of a pay TV package in the country or not.
Similarly, the TVA Sports Direct service is also perfect for cord-cutting fans in Canada, costing just $19.99 a month.
And don't forget that using a VPN is the way to get a Euro 2020 live stream if you're away from Canada when the game you want to watch is on.
The official broadcaster for Euro 2020 in New Zealand is Sky Sport, which is available as part of a range of pay TV packages.
Subscribers can watch online using the country's Sky Go service, while cord-cutters and anyone else can try the Sky Sport Now streaming-only platform - where a weekly pass costs just $19.99.
Anyone in New Zealand from abroad or vice-versa can use the VPN route outlined above to access their service of choice just like they would at home.
In India, Euro 2020 will be streamed on the SonyLIV (Rs 299 monthly/Rs 999 yearly) as well as Jio TV (free, for Jio users only).
Cable subscribers can follow the matches on Sony Ten 2 (English commentary) and Sony Ten 3 (Hindi commentary). This time, region language commentaries will also be available, with Sony Six offering Malayalam and Bengali and Sony Ten 4 having Telugu and Tamil.
