Euro 2024 group fixtures, brackets, dates and kick-off times

The start of Euro 2024 is now just less than two weeks away with European Championship fever set to sweep across the continent this summer.

England and Scotland are amongst the 24 teams who will be taking part in Germany, with both sides applying the finishing touches to their preparations with warm-up fixtures taking place this week.

England have been installed as favourites to win the whole thing, owing to their star-studded squad, as they look to go one better than the runners-up spot from three years ago.

Scotland, meanwhile, will be hoping to reach the knockout rounds of a major international tournament for the first time in their history having been dumped out at the group stage last time around.

Here is your full guide to UEFA Euro 2024, including the all-important start date and the group stage fixtures.

When does Euro 2024 start?

Euro 2024 will take place in Germany between June 14 and July 14, 2024.

The opening game of the tournament will see Germany host Scotland in Munich, with the Group A clash set for an 8pm BST kick-off.

Germany, who beat off competition from Turkey to be awarded the tournament back in 2018, have not hosted a major competition since the World Cup in 2006.

The 2024 edition will be the first Euros to be held in a single country since France hosted the competition in 2016, with Euro 2020 staged across 11 nations to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship.
