- BBC shows England matches — ITV shows other simultaneous games — IPTV gives you both
- Watch France vs Germany on TF1 with French commentary for the local atmosphere
- Follow Spain with La1 Spanish commentary during the knockout rounds
- Access German ARD/ZDF commentary for German national team matches
- Watch every group game regardless of which UK broadcaster has it
- Switch between feeds at kick-off — group stage has three simultaneous matches in the final round
