Euro ‘96 Rewind

Ahead of the tournament from 1 June, BBC Sport’s digital service will help audiences get into the spirit by going back ‘live’ to Euro ’96, coinciding with Alan Shearer’s BBC One documentary, When Football Came Home.

BBC Sport will give the England v Scotland (1 June) and England v Germany (8 June) games the full live coverage treatment, allowing audiences to experience or re-live the magic and agony ‘as live’ with full match video, text coverage and contributions from special guests including Alan Shearer.

The games will be shown ‘live’ through BBC Sport’s digital service – via BBC Sport online, the mobile and tablet app, and through connected TVs and BBC Red Button.

Personalise your Euro 2016

You can also personalise your Euro 2016 digital service to get all the latest news, results and video highlights from your favourite teams via the My Sport service – available online and on mobile devices.

And through the mobile app, audiences can sign up to our sports news alerts service and set match alerts for all 24 teams, choosing whether to receive notifications on the line-ups, kick-offs, goals, half-time scores and results.

Join the match-day build-up

Join Sportsday Live on BBC Sport from 8am every day, featuring the latest from BBC reporters in France, alongside your comments, opinions and votes on the key talking points. Follow the match-day build up wherever you are, and be a part of the conversation through BBC Sport’s social media channels.

Two new interactive features debut for Euro 2016 - the match Predictor and Team Selector – which will both feature across BBC Sport coverage.

The Euro 2016 Predictor lets fans use their knowledge and intuition to predict the results of all matches. Audiences can set up their own league with friends and colleagues and see where they stand in the overall pecking order, as well as compare their predictions with BBC Sport pundits.

With the Team Selector, audiences can put themselves in the shoes of Chris Coleman, Michael O’Neil and Roy Hodgson, picking their own starting XI for games involving all the home nations. They can compare their selections with BBC Sport pundits and friends by sharing them on social media.

And every morning, the Euro 2016 Catch-up video will be available to stream through all BBC Sport platforms and to download via BBC iPlayer. Perfect for the commute, it will sum up the previous day’s best action, funny moments, social media highlights, and preview the day ahead.

Live coverage and highlights

BBC Sport’s world-class live service lets you watch all BBC matches in HD as the action unfolds – whether that’s on your mobile or tablet while out and about, on your PC at work, or at home through BBC Red Button or your connected TV.

Across all devices, audiences can choose from alternative commentary feeds from Radio 5 live, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Ulster for certain matches. Selected matches will also feature an extra camera angle, providing an overhead tactical view.

BBC Sport’s live text commentary will showcase the best minute-by-minute coverage enhanced with instant goal clips for all BBC games, and three-minute highlights of every game, as well as breaking team news, expert analysis and fan contributions via social media. Audio commentary will also be available through Radio 5 live.

As soon as the final whistle blows, audiences can either re-live or catch-up on the action with full video replays of all home nations matches and selected others, and video highlights from every game.

Social media - taking you to the Euros

BBC Sport’s social media channels will keep our 23 million fans in touch with the key action on and off the field.
