Euro 2025: BBC Sport and ITV agree deal to broadcast next year’s Women’s European Championship.

BBC Sport and ITV have signed a deal to broadcast next year’s Women’s European Championship.

Every match in the tournament, which begins on July 2, will be broadcast in the UK on either the BBC or ITV, with the final on July 27 being shown on both channels.

In addition to live TV coverage and highlights on the BBC and iPlayer, radio commentary will also be available on BBC Radio 5 Live and 5 Sports Extra.

England head to Switzerland as reigning champions after qualifying for Euro 2025 with a 0-0 draw against Sweden in July.

The Lionesses’ victory over Germany in the 2022 Euro 2022 final was watched by more than 17 million viewers on BBC One.

Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will attempt to qualify through the play-offs, which will resume in October.

Alex Kay-Jelski, director of BBC Sport, said the BBC was “committed to bringing the nation together for the biggest sporting moments”.

He added: “We are proud to be able to broadcast another major tournament to BBC audiences next summer.”

Meanwhile, ITV’s sporting director Niall Sloane said the broadcaster wants to build on the success of its coverage of the Women’s World Cup last year.
