The UEFA European Championship will be jointly hosted in 2028, on the back of the successful 2024 tournament in Germany.
Four of the seven editions of the tournament since 2000 have been hosted by two joint nations, or in the case of Euro 2020, split across multiple European countries.
Following a bidding process to decide the host of Euro 2028, UEFA made the decision to grant the tournament as a shared project between the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland.
The call came following the withdrawal of rival host bids, including from Spain and Portugal, with UEFA satisfied the UK/Ireland option was the best hosts for four years’ time.

Euro 2028 hosts: Where will tournament be played?
Euro 2028 will feature games in all four nations included in the U.K. — England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland — alongside matches in the Republic of Ireland.
Full details of exactly where each of the matches will be played will be decided in due course, but the majority will be in England, with six of the 10 stadiums selected based there.
England hosted the 1966 FIFA World Cup and Euro ’96, while Wembley was also the venue for the 2021 Euros final, with the delayed Euro 2020 tournament being hosted across Europe.

Who can qualify for Euro 2028?
Euro 2028 will continue the pattern of 24 teams qualifying for the main tournament, following an expansion ever since Euro 2016.
There is no confirmation on which of the host nations will receive an automatic spot at this stage, with the strong potential of no automatic places, due to the multiple number of hosts.
