How can I watch the Women’s Euro 2025?
The BBC and ITV will share television coverage for the Women’s European Championship next year.
The deal is set to include half of the matches shown live across BBC channels and iPlayer and the other half shown live across ITV1 and ITV4, with the final on July 27 being shown by both broadcasters.
Sarina Wiegman’s England will be hoping to successfully defend their title in Switzerland having secured automatic qualification for the tournament last month.
BBC Radio 5 Live will also offer live commentary from the Euros while highlights and clips will be found on both the BBC Sport website and ITVX, the latter of which will also show matches on catch-up.
This comes after the 2022 edition of the tournament in which the BBC had sole rights. The Lionesses’ victory in that year’s final was viewed by more than 17 million people on BBC One, capping off a successful tournament, which reached 27.4 million.
Alex Kay-Jelski, the director of BBC Sport, says that the broadcaster “has been a long time supporter of the women’s game” and is “committed to bringing the nation together” whilst his ITV counterpart Niall Sloane says that ITV are “looking forward to showcasing” the tournament.
The Women’s Euros begin on July 2, 2025 and will last 25 days.
