ITV SNATCH LIVE ENGLAND GAMES FROM CHANNEL 4

Posted on by Leave a comment

ENGLAND’s Euro and World Cup qualifying matches, friendlies and Nations League games are to return to ITV after the broadcaster wrestled back the live TV rights from Channel 4.

From September next year ITV will show all England’s World Cup 2026 qualifiers, all their Euro 2028 qualifiers, all Nations League games and all friendlies.

The four-year deal – struck between ITV and UEFA – covers matches both home and away.

It means Channel 4’s two-year spell as the home of England’s friendlies and qualifying games will come to end next summer.

ITV’s deal covers at least 40 England matches, working out at about ten matches per season.

It’s not clear yet who will claim the UK rights to the same matches for Scotland, Wales, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. UEFA currently have a deal with pay TV channel Viaplay Sports, but it is set to shut down its UK operation leaving the rights up for grabs.

Posted on by Leave a comment

CHANNEL 4 has struck a last-minute deal with UEFA to show England U-21s in the final of the European Championships on Saturday (July 8).

Games so far have been shown only on UEFA’s own streaming service as no UK broadcaster agreed a deal to show the competition.

England will take on Spain’s U-21s in the match which kicks off at 5pm.

Channel 4’s coverage is expected to start at 4.45pm and will be hosted by Jules Breach with commentary from Steve Bower. Both Breach and Bower perform the same roles in the broadcaster’s coverage of England’s senior men’s team.

The game will also be on 4’s streaming service.

CHANNEL 4 has struck a deal to screen all England’s Nations League and Euro 2024 qualifiers, snatching the games from ITV and Sky.

The agreement will also see England’s friendly internationals move to Channel 4.

England’s games in major tournaments like the World Cup and European Championships will continue to be shown on ITV and BBC.

It’s the first time England games have been shown on the network and means there will be 20 Three Lions matches on 4 up to the end of 2024.

Jules Breach will anchor Channel 4 coverage with Steve Bower commentating with Rob Green and Graeme Le Saux.

4’s pundits include Michael Owen, Jordan Nobbs, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole and Eni Aluko.

Ade Adepitan will host special features with Kelly Somers the match day reporter.

Sky had previously held the rights to the Nations League and England friendlies while ITV had European qualifiers.

All other Nations League matches will be shown by subscription service Premier Sports – you can access it via Amazon Prime Video Channels HERE.
