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.

The BBC Red
Button service again gave viewers the option of listening to the Radio
Five Live commentary team, instead of the television commentators, for
the games shown live by the BBC.
They were also streamed in Ultra
High-Definition on the BBC iPlayer. Against Croatia, the BBC iPlayer
also broadcast a Watchalong programme with Conor McNamara and three teenage
cast members of the Children's BBC football drama, Jamie Johnson. For the
game with Scotland, STV broadcast their own programme with commentary from
Rory Hamilton and Kevin Gallacher. |
