This will remove ITV's advantage to gain early viewers over the broadcaster.
During the semi-final win over Holland, it is estimated that there was a peak of 21.6million people watching on ITV.
This has given fans a bigger decision to make about which broadcaster to tune into.
The BBC will have regular faces presenting the show, such as Gary Lineker and Micah Richards.

Commentator Guy Mowbray has revealed that Alan Shearer always reminds him to bring a portable printer to the commentary box.
While ITV will feature the likes of Laura Woods, Gary Neville and Roy Keane.

EURO 2024 has something for everyone from stunning goals, thrilling matches... and the continent's biggest hunks, writes Jack Figg.
Several stars have lit up the group stages with their skills on the pitch - but others are also catching the eye for their looks.
But who is the sexiest?
Thankfully AI boffins have carried out an analysis on the facial attractiveness of all players at the tournament.
And it's bad news for Gareth Southgate's Three Lions who are the fourth UGLIEST in the competition - one place below Scotland.
In fact it's England's group rivals Serbia who have fans swooning the most - boasting an average score of 77.90/100 with defender Strahinja Pavlovic deemed their most attractive.
While Turkey defender Mert Muldur has been ranked as the tournament's BEST-LOOKING player.
But who is England's sexiest star, and who makes the Euros' hunkiest XI? Read our full story.
Team news has already started to emerge from the England camp ahead of the final.
Luke Shaw is set to start for the Three Lions in place of Kieran Trippier.
England reached the final by beating Holland in the semi-finals 2-1, with Ollie Watkins scoring a 90th-minute winner.
Spain, however, sealed their spot by overcoming France by the same scoreline in the first semi-final.
England stars could be set for a major money boost should they win the final from increased wages and endorsement deals.
BBC vs ITV

ALL EYES will be on Sunday's Euro 2024 final when England take on Spain - but on which channel will you watch?
BBC and ITV have shared the rights throughout the tournament in Germany as Gareth Southgate's Three Lions made it to successive Euros finals.
But for the first time this summer, the broadcasters will go head-to-head, with viewers having the choice of which channel they tune into for the final.
So here, SunSport helps fans decide ahead of the big game...
Hosts
Gary Lineker has long been the face of BBC's football coverage, having hosted the iconic Match of the Day since 1999, making him a sage pair of hands.
Gabby Logan, Alex Scott and Mark Chapman have shared the hotseat in the absence of Lineker.
Former England striker Lineker has had an eventful Euros, notably being censored by the BBC for dropping an F-bomb while celebrating England's win over Switzerland.
He was also accused of breaking rules when he wore his own Next clothing range on air - as BBC ban talent from wearing attire they're either promoting or being paid to wear.
Lineker and BBC pundit Alan Shearer were also caught in a spiky back and forth with England captain Harry Kane after criticism of England's early performances.
Those tuning into ITV have been guided through proceedings by fans' favourite Laura Woods and veteran broadcaster Mark Pougatch.
Woods has stunned in a variety of bold outfits throughput the tournament and even brought along boyfriend Adam Collard to Berlin.
Pundits
The BBC have had Micah Richards, Shearer, Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand, Jermaine Jenas, Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Ellen White, Ashley Williams, David Moyes, Rachel Corsie, Thomas Frank and Cesc Fabregas in the studio in Germany.
Fabregas in particular received praise for his expert analysis and the Spaniard would be the perfect pundit for the final.
He won the Euros in 2008 and 2012 while spending 13 years playing in England at Arsenal and Chelsea.
Ferdinand meanwhile was on the end of some funny stick from Jenas after making it known he spoke with former team-mate Critstiano Ronaldo in private.
ITV have had Ian Wright, Karen Carney, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Eni Aluko, Graeme Souness, Ange Postecoglou and Danny Rohl in their studio.
Behind-the-scenes footage has shown Irishman Keane's hilarious reaction to England's goals - and his brutal take on the action will be a draw for many fans.
In contrast, Wright and Neville haven't disguised their jubilation at England's progress, with the pair's celebrations at Ollie Watkins' late winner against Switzerland going viral.
Former referee Christina Unkel was been a very welcome addition to ITV's coverage - and definitely an upgrade on Peter Walton - as she analyses the on-pitch decisions.
Unkel claimed England should NOT have been awarded a penalty against the Dutch before ITV later had to censor manager Ronald Koeman's furious post-match interview.
Commentators
Guy Mowbray is BBC's lead commentator and he could be partnered with Jenas, Shearer, Danny Murphy or Martin Keown.
Shearer brilliantly came up with the "pressure is for tyres" line as England went 5/5 in their quarter-final shootout win over Switzerland.
Fans will likely be hoping the Newcastle pundit is back on co-comms for the final.
Sam Matterface is ITV's head commentator and will likely be partnered with Lee Dixon or Ally McCoist.
But fans are pushing for former England international Andros Townsend to pair with McCoist in a dream co-commentary duo.
The Euros also brought an end to Clive Tyldesley's near-three decades with ITV.
