The 16th European Championship finally kicked off on Friday, a trans-continental tournament encompassing 51 matches over 31 days in 11 countries, ranging from Baku in the east to Glasgow, 2,600 miles to the Azerbaijan capital's west.

All the squads have been finalised, late withdrawals notwithstanding. England, who will play all their group games at Wembley, where both semi-finals and the final will also be staged, are second-favourites behind world champions France.

Euro 2020 was postponed last year because of the Covid pandemic, but the tournament returns this summer with the same teams and nearly the same host cities – Seville replacing Bilbao and Saint Petersburg, already a host, taking on Dublin's games as well.

England will play Scotland in the second group stage game after winning against Croatia the first game. The match against Scotland will be the first tournament outing for international football's oldest fixture since Euro 96 – a mouth-watering prospect.

And the final will be shown on both the BBC and ITV.
