Pubs and bars in England and Wales will be allowed to stay open until 1am for the semi-finals and final of this summer’s European Championship if one of the home nations makes it that far.‌

Home Secretary James Cleverly has confirmed plans to relax licensing hours if England or Scotland reach the final week of the tournament in Germany.‌

Cleverly plans to use powers that allow him to make an order relaxing licensing hours to mark occasions of “exceptional national significance” following the results of a consultation carried out towards the end of last year.‌

He said: “Over the coming weeks we will all be getting ready to support our home nations in what will be a busy summer of sport and a proud moment for Britain.‌

“We have listened to the public through our consultation and will be extending pub licensing hours should England or Scotland reach the semi-finals or final of Euro 2024.‌

“This boost to the hospitality sector will allow friends, families and communities to come together for longer to watch their nation hopefully bring it home.”‌

However, pubs in Scotland may not be afforded the same leeway.

A Scottish Government spokesman said they could not make a similar order and that it would be up to councils.

The spokesperson said: “Unlike in England, licensing boards in Scotland are independent regulatory bodies and it is up to them whether or not they grant general extensions of licensed hours if they consider it appropriate to do so in connection with a special event of local or national significance. We are sure local licensing boards will respond sensitively to any individual requests made to adjust licensing hours taking into account the views of local communities and other key interests.”

Licensing powers are devolved to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
