Euro 2024: Where to watch all the football action in Prague

After the excitement and furor of the Ice Hockey World Championships, a major – arguably bigger – sporting event is here: the 2024 men’s UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024), hosted in Germany. June 15 saw the first match be played in the tournament, which runs until July 14. 

Czechia is one of 24 teams to take part in the tournament: the national team will try to qualify from Group F, which also features Portugal, Turkey, and Georgia. The top two teams in each four-team group (there are six groups in total) will automatically qualify for the knockout stages. The four best third-placed teams will also qualify.
