When England take on Spain on Sunday in the final of Euro 2024, hundreds of millions of viewers are expected to watch the action at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

UEFA estimates that the Euro 2020 final was watched by 328 million fans on par with the record set in 2016 - and broadcasters will be hoping for similar numbers at the weekend.

A 47-camera coverage plan - in use from the quarter finals onwards - will be used to share the action with viewers. Some 33 of the cameras will be used to capture the on-field action, while the rest including an external crane beauty shot will focus on events surrounding the match, such as team arrivals, fan coverage and helicopter shots, providing supplementary content for the range of feeds provided by UEFA.

For the first time at a UEFA Euro final, broadcasters will have the option of hosting some of their coverage on the pitch at the Olympiastadion. UEFA has offered stand-up presentations on the pitch for Champions League matches for some time, but it's a new addition for the Euros with broadcasters from the participating teams countries - subject to their rights deals - able to present from the pitch for a limited time ahead of the match.

Leading coverage of the final will be the experienced director Laurent Lachand, whose recent credits include the FIFA 2022 World Cup Final and the 2022 UEFA Champions League Final in Paris.

And the host broadcast of the final will be supported by outside broadcast firm TVN, with the German facilities firm responsible for matches in Berlin and Hamburg throughout the tournament.
