Euro 2024 schedule: Every fixture and kickoff time plus possible roads to final

sportsmole.co.uk, 6 May 2024, 11:00
The continent's best will soon come together for the latest summer gathering, as 24 nations vie for glory at this year's Euro 2024 Championships across the German landscape.

Three years on from Italy's memorable triumph over England on penalties in the delayed Euro 2020 showpiece, the Azzurri and Three Lions will be among the countries gunning for supremacy this time around too, a list which also includes Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands and, of course, host nation Germany.

The tournament runs for exactly one month from June 14 to July 14, leaving players with little recuperation time from their gruelling domestic seasons before they join up with their compatriots, although some journeys will end sooner than others.

Here, Sports Mole runs down every fixture and kickoff time for Euro 2024, as well as possible roads to the final in Berlin.

POSSIBLE ROADS TO FINAL

While the top two teams in each group earn a direct route into the last 16 as standard, and the bottom-placed nations catch an early flight home, a quartet of third-placed teams will get a second bite at the Euro 2024 cherry based on their performances.

The mind-boggling permutations are relevant for England, who will meet one of the four third-placed teams - either from Group D, Group E or Group F - in the last 16 should they win Group C, potentially setting up a daunting opening knockout fixture.

France, Portugal, the Netherlands and Belgium are among the sides who England could tackle in the last 16, although Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Turkey may be more realistic third-placed options.

Going through to the quarters would then see Gareth Southgate's troops meet either the Group A or Group B runner-up - a repeat of the 2021 final with Italy is a possibility there - and if the likes of Germany, Portugal and Spain cruise through their groups, they will be on a collision course to meet the Three Lions in the final.

What if the Three Lions finish second or third?

Should the Three Lions miss out on topping their group, finishing second would land them a last-16 date with the Group A winner - most likely hosts Germany - and even if they make it past that, the victor of the mouthwatering Group B involving Spain, Italy and Croatia may await in the quarters.

If the Euro 2020 runners-up have to settle for the bronze medal position, their last-16 opponents will be the Group E winner or Group F winner, presumably Belgium or the champions of 2016 Portugal.

Some of the big guns may fall at the earliest knockout hurdle too, as the Group A runner-up vs. Group B runner-up clash opens up possibilities such as Germany-Spain, Germany-Croatia or Germany-Italy.

Portugal finishing second in Group F would put them at risk of meeting Group D representatives France in the last 16, a repeat of the 2016 trophy match in which Eder memorably propelled the Selecao to continental supremacy.
