Euro 2012 on the BBC

In a huge summer of sport on the BBC the Euro 2012 tournament will take centre stage throughout the whole of June, culminating in the final in Kiev on 1 July.

With our most comprehensive coverage yet the BBC will bring football fans closer to the action across TV, radio, online and mobile – covering every kick of every game and keeping our audiences up to date wherever they are.

On TV the BBC will show 16 live games including a quarter final, both semi-finals and the final. There will also be highlights programmes showing all of the games not covered live. Once again all of our live matches will be shown on BBC HD and a range of highlights packages will be available on the iPlayer. Radio 5 live has full coverage of every game on 5 live or 5 live sports extra. 

The BBC Sport website will boast an extensive offering including live streaming of all BBC games, live text commentaries from every game of the tournament, in-depth team and venue guides, a tournament tracker and behind the scenes videos. 

The BBC’s presentation team will be based at BBC Sport’s new home at MediaCityUK in Salford whilst a smaller team based in Poland and Ukraine will take fans to the heart of the action. 

5 live will also broadcast from Salford whilst having commentary teams on location bringing all the news and analysis from Poland and Ukraine.
