UEFA Euro 2024 Betting Guide: Everything you need to know about Germany '24 | OneFootball

Who has qualified for Euro 2024?

Following the conclusion of the play-offs, all 24 finalists for Euro 2024 are now known.

Three teams - Poland, Ukraine and Georgia - sealed their spots via those play-offs, while the top two in the each of the 10 qualifying groups had already booked their ticket to Germany. The host nation qualified automatically.

The qualified teams, in alphabetical order, are:

Albania, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, England, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine

Euro 2024 draw

The draw for this summer's finals took place on December 2 in Hamburg with the teams drawn into six groups of four. The draw produced the following groups:

Group A - Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

Group B - Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania

Group C - Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Group D - Netherlands, Austria, France, Poland

Group E - Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine

Group F - Turkey, Portugal, Czechia, Georgia

As at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020, the top two in each group will qualify for the knockout stage, along with the four third-placed teams with the best record.

If teams finish level on points, the head-to-head record between the teams tied is used to determine positions (points won in those games, then goal difference and goals scored, if necessary).

Euro 2024 schedule

The 2024 European Championship takes place from 14 June to 14 July in Germany.

The full fixture list can be found below.

When is the Euro 2024 final?

The 2024 European Championship final will be held on Sunday 14 July and will kick-off at 20:00 BST in Berlin's Olympiastadion.

What are the kick-off times for Euro 2024?

The other kick-off times are standardised.

Group-stage matches start at 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00 BST. Local time is one hour ahead.

Most days in the group phase feature three games, one at each of the kick-off times.

The most matches on any one day is four, which will occur on 25 and 26 June, although on these occasions not all the matches will be consecutive.

In the knockout stage, last-16 and quarter-final games will kick off at 17:00 and 20:00 BST. The semis and final are all set for 20:00 BST.

Who will England play if they win their group?

OK, time to plot England's path to Euro 2024 glory!

They are odds-on with the Betfair Sportsbook to top their group and if that happens they would face one of the third-placed teams in the last 16.

That team would come from Group D, E or F. There are clearly a wide rage of possibilities, although the current group odds suggest if would be either Austria, Romania or Czechia.

Were the seedings to play out, the Three Lions would then meet the runner-up of either Group A or Group B in the quarter-finals - the odds have these teams as Switzerland and Italy - before facing either France or Belgium in the last four.

If the six seeds do indeed top their groups, the leading nations England couldn't meet until the final would include Germany, Spain and Portugal.

Who will England play if they finish runners-up in their group?

The bookies don't expect this scenario but it's been the one which has unfolded at two of the last four European Championships, including Euro 2016 which was played in the same format as this tournament.

On that occasion, England finished second behind Wales and went on to lose to Iceland in the last 16.

If England finish second in Group C, they would play the Group A winners in the last 16 - that is likely to be hosts Germany, according to the markets.

The winner of the that contest is currently expected to face Spain in the quarter-finals with Portugal potentially lying in wait in the last four.

In short, this looks a much harder route to the final for Gareth Southgate and co.

Who could England play if they finish third in their group?

This isn't the doomsday scenario - that would be finishing bottom - but third place certainly isn't what people are expecting from England in Group C.

Still, it is a possibility.

First, it should be pointed out that not all the third-placed teams go through - only the best four of the six.

History shows finishing third with four points has always been good enough to progress, while you can lose two matches and still make it through - as Northern Ireland did in 2016.

The worst record to progress as a third-placed team has been Ukraine (3pts and a -1 goal difference) at Euro 2020.

The complicated format means we can't plot a route for England very easily - where they would fit into the draw would depend on which other teams qualified in third place.

What we can say is that if they do progress as a third-placed team, they would face a group winner in the last 16.

That team would be either the winner of Group E or Group F. The odds make Belgium and Portugal odds-on to finish top of those groups.

What are the latest Euro 2024 odds?

Let's look at those Euro 2024 betting markets in greater detail - and it's good news for England fans!

The outright market is led by the Three Lions, who are 3/14.00 tournament favourites with the Betfair Sportsbook, despite an unconvincing March international window which brought a 1-0 defeat to Brazil and a 2-2 draw with Belgium.

While you need to consider that the British-based bookmakers may well keep them shorter than they 'should be' due to the potential for large liabilities from patriotic punters, there's little doubt England have an attack which virtually every nation in Europe would be envious of. The defensive side of things could be their undoing though - as they showed against the Belgians.

World champions France, who famously beat England at the quarter-final stage of Qatar 2022, are next in the market. They shortened slightly in March despite a 2-0 friendly defeat to Germany and are now 15/4.

The hosts beat both France and the Netherlands in March and are now into 5/16.00, ahead of Spain and Portugal, both (8/19.00).

Holders Italy and Belgium are both at 16/117.00, with the Dutch offered at the same price. It's 35/136.00 bar.

Perhaps some value lies with Croatia, semi-finalists in Qatar and runners-up at the 2018 World Cup. They are 35/136.00 having been drawn in the same group as Spain and Italy.

Scotland, beaten by the Netherlands and Northern Ireland in March, can be backed at 125/1126.00.

In the group betting, each pool has an odds-on favourite.

England are the shortest price (3/101.30) with Spain the longest - they are 10/111.91 to win a group including defending champs Italy and Croatia.

England are just 1/1001.01 to qualify for the knockout stage - the shortest such price.

England's fixtures for Euro 2024

England's first game of Euro 2024 will take place on Sunday 16 June - the third day of the tournament - against Serbia (kick-off 20:00 BST).

Four days later they will meet Denmark (17:00 BST) before their final group match against Slovenia takes place on 25 June (20:00 BST).

How can I watch Euro 2024 on TV?

In the UK, the BBC and ITV jointly hold the live TV rights to the tournament.

Coverage of the group-stage games has already been decided and is shown in the fixture list above.

Both channels will have live coverage of the final.

Can I still buy tickets for Euro 2024?

Maybe but unlikely.

Most public tickets were bought during an online ballot last year, while a 'last-minute' sales phase is now sold out.

England's allocation has already been distributed to members of the England Supporters Travel Club.

However, UEFA do plan on selling tickets for the knockout stage from June 23 - ie, once the fixtures are known.

When will the Euro 2024 squads be announced?

Tournament regulations say every team must confirm its squad list "at least seven full days before the opening match".

This means the deadline is 19:00 BST on Friday 7 June.

A recent rule change means managers will be allowed to select 26 players, an increase of three from the original decision.

Some nations have already named their squad, while England and Scotland are expected to announce theirs on May 21 and 22 respectively.

Here are those squads named so far, in full:

* indicates preliminary squad

Are Euro 2024 warm-up friendlies planned?

In a word, yes.

Both England and Scotland have already booked their June friendlies.

England will entertain Bosnia-Herzegovina at St James' Park in Newcastle on Monday June 3 before hosting Iceland at Wembley on Friday June 7.

On the same nights, Scotland will be away to Gibraltar and at home to Finland respectively.

Other warm-up games will take place, starting on June 3.

Euro 2024 venues

The tournament is being staged in 10 cities across Germany.

The final will be held in Berlin's Olympiastadion, the largest of the venues with a capacity of 71,000.

The semi-finals will be staged in Munich (pictured) and Dortmund, with both grounds able to house more than 60,000 fans.

The other venues all hold at least 40,000 fans. They are in Leipzig, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

Which teams won't be at Euro 2024?

Italy missed out on the 2022 World Cup but there are no such high-profile absentees when it comes to Euro 2024.

In terms of the FIFA rankings, the highest-ranked team who won't be in Germany are Sweden.

Currently 27th in the standings, the Swedes finished only third in their qualifying group, behind Belgium and Austria.

Of the Home Nations, both Wales and Northern Ireland have failed to qualify.

Which players won't be at Euro 2024?

As was the case at the 2022 World Cup, arguably Europe's deadliest striker won't be at Euro 2024.

Erling Haaland's Norway team failed to qualify, leaving the Manchester City star kicking his heels this summer, along with Arsenal's Martin Odegaard (pictured).

Tottenham star Dejan Kulusevski is another notable absentee - he plays for non-qualifiers Sweden.

Others will likely pick up injuries between now and the end of the club season.

Several have already admitted defeat in such a battle, notably Scotland's Lewis Ferguson, who has starred in Serie A with Bologna this season. He suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury in April.

Real Madrid's David Alaba, a key man for Austria, also suffered a serious knee injury earlier in the season.

Spain midfielder Gavi, Dutch defender Sven Botman, France's Lucas Hernandez and Italy forward Domenico Berardi are others who will be absent from the tournament due to injury.

It looked like a knee injury would also rule out Belgium stopper Thibaut Courtois, although he has recently returned to action with Real Madrid.

However, a row with his international boss means he is still unlikely to be in Germany this summer.
