The following is a list of the European Championship finals games played by England and broadcast live in the United Kingdom, together with the only commentators given the honour of describing the action as it happened, for the benefit of the viewers back home. England also played the USSR in 1988, but the game was not televised live, because the BBC decided to show the Republic of Ireland's group decider with the Netherlands instead. This meant that England's game was only shown in highlights form.
