Cristiano Ronaldo/Euro 2024 today: Including Portugal vs Czech Republic, TV channels, times and odds

Today sees Group F get underway at the 2024 European Championship with all four countries in action: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal and Czech Republic.

France and Romania both enjoyed winning starts on Monday. Romania recorded their first victory at a European Championship in 24 years with a stunning win over Ukraine in Group E. Slovakia, meanwhile, produced the first major shock of the tournament with a 1-0 win over Belgium in Group E after Romelu Lukaku endured a day to forget.

In the final game of the day, France battled to a narrow 1-0 victory over Austria in Munich but it came at a cost with Kylian Mbappé suffering a broken nose, with his return to action not yet known.

How to watch Euro 2024 on TV

The BBC and ITV/STV are sharing broadcast rights for the European Championship in the United Kingdom.

The BBC showed England’s opening win against Serbia and will broadcast their clash with Denmark after ITV banked on Gareth Southgate’s men reaching at least the semi-finals.

ITV picked England’s potentially-decisive final Group C game against Slovenia, plus any last-16 fixture involving the Three Lions and any semi-final.

The BBC will show any England quarter-final, with both channels – as always – sharing the final.

The opening match of the tournament between Scotland and hosts Germany was on ITV, with the BBC picking the Scots’ other Group A games, against Switzerland and Hungary.

How many subs are allowed at Euro 2024?

As was the case for Euro 2020, each side can make five substitutes per match, with each team allowed a maximum of three stoppages to make their changes during the game (excluding half-time and other match delays).

What is the official Euro 2024 song?

Italian DJ group Meduza, American pop-rock giants OneRepublic and German pop icon Kim Petras have united to create the official song for the Euros. It is called Fire. According to the tournament organisers the song “merges the Italian group’s much-loved anthemic house production, OneRepublic’s compelling soundscapes and Leony’s pop expertise into a track that embodies the fervour and spirit of football and music fans alike”.

Euro 2024 ball

The official Adidas Euro 2024 ball is known as Fussballliebe, which is German for ‘love of football’. According to Uefa, the design is inspired by the joy of football and the energy of the tournament. As well as using recycled polyester and water-based ink, the ball is made from more sustainable bio-based materials than any previous Adidas official match ball. Corn fibres, sugar cane, wood pulp and rubber have been included in each layer of the ball.

Illustrations of each of the stadiums being used for the tournament feature on the ball, alongside the name of each host city.

The ball will also use Adidas’s connected ball technology to send data in real time to officials, helping to produce faster offside and handball decisions.
