Google will be ok with either if you’re searching, but the trophy will say Euro 2020. It’s officially being called Euro 2020, but it’s being played in 2021. Platini is now banned from soccer by the FIFA Ethics Committee until 2023 for his role in moving the World Cup to the petro slave state of Qatar, and that’s kind of international soccer in a nutshell. This is the second tournament that will have 24 teams instead of 16 thanks to a cash grab by a man named Michel Platini that took all the drama out of the qualifying process.

In 2024 the event will move back to the traditional one-or-two-nation hosting model as Germany will hold all matches, and will avoid qualifying as the host country. This is the first time we’ve seen a continental-wide setup for this tournament. The tournament will be conducted in 12 countries for the first time, and thus there were no automatic host teams and everyone had to qualify. These teams played qualifiers from March 2019 to November 2020, and 24 of them will appear in this event. It’s the championship of national football for 55 nations in Europe. The Euro 2020/2021 Finals: What is this thing? Here’s everything you need to know about the Euro 2021 (2020? 2021? Euro 202One?) Finals, which is a sporting spectacle unlike any other. Think March Madness-levels of not working off at offices, but for nine days instead of just the First Round Thursday or Friday. It’s the UEFA Euro 2021 Finals, which is some of the best soccer in the world in a month-long festival of fantastic football featuring some of the best players in the world.Īnd the best part? There’s three or four matches most days for the first two weeks, and they start at 8:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 2:30 pm ET most days on ESPN, ESPN, ABC, and ESPN+. The kicky footy is back, and this time it’s on ESPN and ABC all month long.
