The start of Euro 2024 is now just two days away with European Championship fever set to sweep across the continent this summer.
England and Scotland are amongst the 24 teams who will be taking part in Germany, with both sides having just days to add the finishing touches to their preparations.
England have been installed as favourites to win the whole thing, owing to their star-studded squad – even if defeat against Iceland in their final Euro 2024 warm-up game added to the growing problems around the team.
Scotland, meanwhile, will be hoping to reach the knockout rounds of a major international tournament for the first time in their history having been dumped out at the group stage last time around.
Here is your full guide to UEFA Euro 2024, including the all-important start date and the group stage fixtures.
When does Euro 2024 start?
Euro 2024 will take place in Germany between June 14 and July 14, 2024.
The opening game of the tournament will see Germany host Scotland in Munich, with the Group A clash set for an 8pm BST kick-off.
Germany, who beat off competition from Turkey to be awarded the tournament back in 2018, have not hosted a major competition since the World Cup in 2006.
The 2024 edition will be the first Euros to be held in a single country since France hosted the competition in 2016, with Euro 2020 staged across 11 nations to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship.
