Men’s international fixtures for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will remain broadcast on the BBC until June 2028.
This follows the broadcaster’s renewal of its rights agreement with Uefa, guaranteeing live coverage of all three nations’ Uefa matches across all platforms until 2028.
Over the next two years, approximately 60 matches will air, including key contests like this autumn’s Nations League games and Euro 2028 championship qualifiers.
Viewers can access all matches through BBC television, BBC iPlayer, and BBC Sounds.
Since commencing full coverage in March 2025, the BBC has set records for international football viewership among the devolved nations. Scotland’s World Cup qualifier against Denmark drew 1.1 million Scottish viewers and 2.7 million UK-wide. Wales’ play-off semi-final against Bosnia-Herzegovina reached 1.71 million UK audiences (280,000 in Wales), while Northern Ireland’s Germany qualifier attracted 1.11 million UK viewers (121,000 locally).
The BBC Sport app, live streaming services, podcasts, and social media platforms also saw unprecedented engagement during World Cup coverage.
“These matches foster community unity and create defining sporting moments,” noted Rhuanedd Richards, interim director of BBC Nations.
“We remain committed to delivering these compelling narratives about our nations’ teams,” she added.
Alex Kay-Jelski, BBC Director of Sport, emphasized: “International football unites people, boosts national pride, and drives massive audience engagement across all BBC platforms. Audiences can trust we’ll cover every pivotal moment for the road to Euro 2028.”
Euro 2028 will span nine venues in the UK and Republic of Ireland, with live broadcasting across all BBC services.
