The summer of 2024 is set to be star-studded both on and off the pitch, with BBC and ITV adding big names to their coverage of the European Championships, which kick-off in Germany on Friday evening.

England, the pre-tournament favourites, are hoping to end a 58-year wait for another major international trophy from the men's team. This could be manager Gareth Southgate's last opportunity with the Three Lions.

However, they must first improve on their recent 1-0 defeat to Iceland in their final warm-up match before the competition begins. They have a prime opportunity to bounce back in their first group stage clash against Serbia this Sunday.

Following that, they'll face Denmark and Slovenia in their final two games in Group C. If all goes well, they'll qualify for the knockout stages where they could face a variety of teams depending on their group finish.

But who will be the faces and voices we see and hear throughout the tournament, given that the country's two biggest channels hold the TV rights for the competition?

For the BBC, Gary Lineker and Gabby Logan will return as the broadcaster's main presenters. A number of commentators, including Guy Mowbray, Jonathan Pearce and Vicki Sparks, will travel to Germany.

They'll be joined in the commentary box by the likes of Alan Shearer, Jermaine Jenas, and Danny Murphy.

The BBC has revealed its star-studded line-up for the tournament, with former West Ham boss David Moyes and ex-England internationals Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Ellen White and Micah Richards among the pundits. Brentford boss Thomas Frank will also be on hand to share his insights.

Here's the full list of the BBC team:

Presenters: Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan, Alex Scott, Mark Chapman.

Pundits: Wayne Rooney,
