UEFA Euro 2024 kicks off on June 15, as hosts Germany face Scotland in the tournament opener. A major international tournament returns to Germany for the first time since the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Italy enter as defending champions, but they'll have an uphill task to even make it out of the groups, with Spain, Croatia and Albania alongside them in Group B. Germany talisman Toni Kroos has come out of retirement to have one last crack, while Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric may also be playing their final Euros. The format stays the same; top two teams qualify from the six groups, with the four best third-placed teams also making the Round of 16.
