The national team arrives at the tournament as current champions of the UEFA Nations League and with the hope of making up for their early defeat in the round of 16 at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
So where can you watch Euro 2024 if you’re in Spain during the tournament?
We’ve got some good news for you, as Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE will broadcast all the matches for free.
The matches will either show on RTVE’s main channel La 1, or on their second channel La 2 or on their sports channel Teledeporte.
It’s the first time in 20 years that RTVE has gained the rights to air each and every single match of a European Cup tournament, with the rise of pay-per-view sports channels dominating the market recently in Spain.

Therefore, to watch any of the 24 national teams play in the tournament’s 51 total matches, all you will have to do is tune in to one of those three RTVE channels.
The following tweet by RTVE breaks down on which of their three channels each of the Euro’s group matches will be broadcast.

If you don’t have a television where you are in Spain but you do have the internet, you’ll also be able to stream Euro 2024 on your mobile, tablet or computer via the RTVE play platform.
Commentary on RTVE is of course in Spanish so if you wish to watch the games in English, you may want to consider getting a VPN to stream international channels.
