"Our live coverage, highlights shows, podcasts, online and social media content, will capture all the action and all the talking points, so fans and viewers can immerse themselves in everything the tournament has to offer throughout Euro 2020 on ITV."

Presenter Seema Jaswal told Mirror Sport: "Presenting the live match coverage alongside such an incredible line-up for ITV is an absolute privilege so as you can imagine I am super excited! I was part of the ITV team in 2018 for the World Cup in Russia and we had so much fun together, so I'm really looking forward to the Euros this summer and I have a feeling this one is going to be really special given the year that everyone has had and how long we've had to wait!

"I'm most looking forward to seeing the fans back in the stadiums. I present the live matches for the Premier League's global coverage and we had the fans back for the final two weeks of the season which felt great!

"Sport is just not the same without the fans - they are the heartbeat. So to just see fans back at an international tournament, I am buzzing"
