Euro 2020: basic info and USA viewing coverage

The pandemic-postponed Euro 2020 will retain its official name and finally be played this summer, one year late. There will be multiple host cities to enable relocations given the changing nature of pandemic variants, cases, and national capacities to undertake the logistical and health issues related to the tourney.

As of this writing, there are eleven host cities listed here with their respective stadia, each venue’s capacity, and the varying percentages of spectators allowed:

Team rosters, subs allowed, progression format

Euro 2020 will consist of 24 national teams divided into six groups of 4 nations each. Teams are allowed 26-player rosters, 23-player game day team sheets, and fives substitutions, all changes due to the pandemic’s effect on our sport.

The group winners and runners-up will advance to the knockout rounds, along with the four best third-placed teams—goal differential and total goals scored are the tiebreakers. It is then a straight knockout tournament, with extra time and penalties if necessary. There will be a round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, and a final.

The six Euro 2020 Groups

• Group A: Italy, Switzerland, Turkey, Wales
• Group B: Belgium, Russia, Denmark, Finland
• Group C: Ukraine, Netherlands, Austria, North Macedonia
