13/03/2024 10:29

The countdown to the start of Euro 2024 is well and truly on, with less than 100 days to the big kick-off in Germany.

England and Scotland have long since known their group stage opponents, with Gareth Southgate’s men placed in Group C alongside Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia, whilst Steve Clark’s side will contest Group A fixtures with Germany, Hungary and Switzerland.

England’s star-studded squad have been installed as the favourites to go all the way to July’s final, where they will be looking to avenge their heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the final three years ago.

Scotland, meanwhile, will be aiming to qualify for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the very first time, having failed to make it out of the group at Euro 2020.

Here is your full guide to UEFA Euro 2024, including the all-important start date and the group stage fixtures.

Euro 2024 dates

Euro 2024 will take place in Germany between June 14 and July 14, 2024.

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.

Euro 2024 schedule

• June 14: Opening group stage game
• June 29: Round of 16 starts
• July 5: Quarter-finals start

Euro 2024 groups

The six group winners and runners-up will qualify for the Round of 16, where they will be joined by the four best third-place sides.

Wales can still qualify for the tournament if they progress through their play-off pathway.

Rob Page’s men host Finland in Cardiff in their play-off semi-final, with Poland or Estonia awaiting in the final.

The two other play-off pathways consist of Israel/Bosnia/Ukraine/Iceland and Georgia/Greece/Kazakhstan/Luxembourg.
