Euro 2024 – Round of 16

After a two day break with no Euro 2024 matches, the tournament is back with a bang on Saturday as the knockout stages begin.

But which 16 teams have qualified for the business end of the tournament, who will they face, when are the matches, and which channel will they be shown on in the UK?

Let’s have a look, shall we?

The ties

Saturday, June 29 – 5pm BST – Switzerland v Italy – BBC

The round of 16 begins with the runners-up in Group A, Switzerland, against the side which finished second in Group B – Italy.

It’s a local derby in Berlin between a side which has reached the knockout stages in six straight major tournaments and the reigning champions.

The winners will progress to the quarter-finals where they will face the winner of England v Slovakia.

Saturday, June 29 – 8pm BST – Germany v Denmark – ITV

Another local derby and a repeat of the 1992 final, which Denmark famously won 2-0.

Germany picked up eight points to finish top of Group A while the Danes were runners-up to England in Group C, though they scored only two goals in their three matches and drew all three.

Dortmund is sure to be jumping for this one.

The winner of Spain’s last-16 clash with Georgia awaits the winner of this one in the last eight.

Sunday, June 30 – 5pm BST – England v Slovakia – ITV

Here we go again. England’s performances on the field left a lot to be desired as they finished top of Group C with five points, but they could not have asked for more when it comes to off-field matters.

Slovakia finished third in Group E, though all four sides finished level on four points with one win, a draw and a defeat.

Only Georgia’s shock win over Portugal ensured England would face Slovakia rather than Group D’s third-placed side the Netherlands.

Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka and PSG defender Milan Skriniar are the most recognisable names,…
