This is unprecedented and we look forward to bringing home to viewers the action and excitement on the ground in France. The tournament begins on ITV for UK viewers next year and we're looking forward to showing live two of England's three group matches as well as key matches involving Northern Ireland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Our group stage coverage also includes all of holders Spain's matches and a standout tie between World Champions Germany and fierce rivals Poland. Viewers will be able to watch all our matches live online on itv.com, which will also host a dedicated Euro 16 site offering comprehensive coverage in the build up to and throughout the most eagerly anticipated European Championship for many years.
Philip Bernie, BBC Head of TV Sport, said: We are delighted to have the most talked about match of the draw in England v Wales, in such a special year for the home nations, as well as the opening matches for Wales and Northern Ireland on their return to major tournament football. We have a great selection of games that also include two matches featuring the world champions Germany and the opening games for some of the tournament's best players, including Gareth Bale, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo. The BBC also features the Republic of Ireland's first game with Sweden and our great picks of subsequent rounds will ensure coverage of the home nations if they progress. Euro 2016 promises to be a standout event in a busy sporting summer on the BBC and we will bring audiences closer to the action than ever before with our most extensive coverage. We expect record numbers to enjoy our comprehensive range of content and catch-up services across TV, radio, online, digital, social media and the iPlayer."
