Free Euro 2025 live streams
Like the Women's World Cup, the European Championships remain free to watch in the UK, with the BBC and ITV sharing matches between them.
That means you can watch every Euro 2025 match on catch up online on either of the BBC iPlayer or ITVX, both of which are completely free to stream live and on catch-up (assuming you have a valid TV licence).
Both services can be watched on laptops, smartphones and have apps for a wide array of streaming devices and games consoles.
Plenty of other competing European countries also had live coverage, including hosts Switzerland (Play SRF, Play RTS, Play RSI), Austria (ORF), Belgium (RTBF, VRT), France (TF1, France Televisions), Germany (Das Erste, Sportsstudio), Italy (Rai Sport ), the Netherlands (NPO1) and Spain (RTVE).

Can I watch Women's Euro 2025 in 4K UHD?
Unlike most high profile sports tournaments these days, this year's Women's European Championship unfortunately, won't be broadcast in 4K UHD. The same was true of Euro 2024.
It is understood that the cost of producing 4K footage isn't matched by demand, with many people watching live sport events on devices that don't carry 4K integration.
There is a possibility that coverage could be 'upscaled' to 4K, which would be some small consolation to viewers with 4K TVs. This will be the decision of each host broadcaster. Otherwise it'll be your on 4K TVs doing the upscaling leg work.
Watch Euro 2025 in HDR
Although there will be no 4K, matches from Euro 2025 will be produced in HDR – or single-layer 1080p50 HDR (hybrid log-gamma, HLG) to be precise.
HDR (standing for High Dynamic Range) is an improvement on non-HDR pictures thanks to its ability to deliver more accurate colours and better contrast. So although you won't get to enjoy the pin-sharp detail of 4K, it should still enhance your Euro 2025 watching experience.
