UEFA has provided broadcast partners with approximately 1,000 hours of content, broken down into:

More digital content than ever has been shared with broadcast partners using UEFA's official clip-sharing platform. This platform offers all content from UEFA's vertical producers and photographers, plus selected match clips in collaboration with ScorePlay. It serves as a one-stop shop' of video and photo content for broadcasters and PNAs to run their own digital and/or social channels.

Each match has been covered by a minimum of three vertical producers, one of whom is positioned in the stands to cover a unique fan perspective. Enriched photography has been offered at the tournament, including squad access days and player portrait photography, as well as live match photography and tournament colour, including from the fan festivals.

In-tournament material, including raw footage of team training sessions, player interviews and city/fan activations, have been gathered by ten ENG crews travelling across Switzerland. Eight of the crews were based within easy distance of team base camps and host cities and an additional two were dedicated to gathering content for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 sponsors.

More than 500,000 new social media followers are expected to be gained during the one month of the competition, resulting in more than 500 million impressions and over 15 million engagements across UEFA Women's Euro 2025 social channels.

The official UEFA Women's Euro 2025 website and application has delivered in-depth coverage of every game, team base camp and host city with a new emphasis on vertical storytelling, in line with social media trends.
