This June sees the largest European Championships ever kick off as France is host to the 24 team Euro 2016 tournament. The usual suspects including France, Spain and Germany will be in the running for the prize, with a hot England team, Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal, and the golden generation of Belgium all looking dangerous. For those that love an outsider the likes of Iceland and Northern Ireland have made the tournament field and are looking to spring an upset or two. The month long tournament will conclude with the winners being crowned in Paris on July 10, 2016.

Euro 2016 TV Broadcasters in USA

The TV broadcast rights for Euro 2016 are refreshingly simple in the US. Basically everything is on ESPN, ESPN 2 or ESPN Deportes. This is great news for fans of the game as there is no need to search the cable package for the more obscure, and often buried channels. ESPN will offer 40 matches including the first game and the final, while ESPN 2 will pick up the other 11 games live. These include the final round of group games that are played simultaneously within a group, two round of 16 games and three quarterfinals. ESPN Deportes will have the Spanish language broadcast for 45 games live and six on tape delay.

Across the ESPN family there will be more than 230 hours of live football streamed from the UEFA European Football Championship. One of the complaints about US coverage in the past has been that the game is presented in a vacuum with no analysis after the event. This will not be true for Euro 2016 as every ESPN and ESPN 2 match will have a 30-minute pregame and a postgame show. Spanish language fans have it even better as ESPN Deportes will also have the Pre-game and post-game shows, plus a two-hour long edition of Jorge Ramos y Su Banda immediately following the last match of the day.

Euro 2016 Radio Coverage in USA

The US radio rights also belong to ESPN, with games being available on ESPN Radio and ESPN Deportes Radio. The only way to guarantee hearing the game is by going through a SiriusXM satellite radio subscription. This will give the national feed of ESPN and its associated channels. Listening through a local affiliate is always a risk as there is a chance the Euro 2016 match will be bumped in favor of a local baseball game or other preferred broadcast. Tunein Radio is another option here, though finding matches can sometimes be hard work based on rights restrictions.
