LONDON - British football fans are counting down the days until the start of the Uefa European Championship. Taking place a year later than scheduled, Euro 2020 will see 24 nations battle it out for the trophy, including England, Scotland and Wales.
This summer’s tournament has a different look to previous editions. Instead of one country hosting all matches, the fixtures will be played across the continent. From 11 June to 11 July there will be a total of 51 matches played in 11 host cities. There are six groups (A to F) and the top two teams will qualify for the round of 16, plus the four best third-placed teams.
Hampden Park in Glasgow will host four matches, three in group D and a round of 16 game, and Wembley Stadium in London will have eight matches - three in group D, two last-16 games, both semi-finals and the final.
Portugal come into the tournament as the defending champions and all 24 nations have now named their final squads.
Here’s everything you need to know about the European football festival. All times listed below are BST.
