BBC and ITV to Broadcast Women's Euro 2025

BBC and ITV have secured the broadcast rights for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025, ensuring all matches will be available live in the UK, with the final shown on both channels on July 27. This follows the UK government’s addition of the tournament to the 'crown jewels' list, mandating live, free-to-air coverage. England, the defending champions, have already qualified for the tournament in Switzerland, while Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will compete for spots via playoffs in October. The 2022 Women's Euro final, where England triumphed over Germany, witnessed a peak audience of 17 million viewers, reflecting growing interest in women's football. BBC Sport and ITV aim to build on the success of their previous women's football coverage, with additional audio commentary available on BBC Radio 5 Live.
