Europe’s best players will collide next summer for the right to be crowned continental champions
The 13th edition of the Women’s European Championship – Euro 2022 – will take place next summer after the competition was rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With public health concerns across the world, UEFA pushed both its flagship international tournaments back a year, with the men’s Euro 2020 now taking place in 2021 and the women’s Euro 2021 now being played in 2022.
Netherlands are the defending champions and they will face stern opposition from Europe’s elite as they attempt to retain their crown.

Which TV channels & online streaming services are showing Euro 2022?
BBC has the rights to broadcast Euro 2022 in the United Kingdom (UK). That means games will be available to watch on its television channels as well as online using the BBC iPlayer and website.
In the United States (U.S.), it has not yet been confirmed which networks will have broadcasting rights, but ABC, ESPN and Univision have rights to Euro 2020 and may be in the mix for the Women’s Euros too.
Games will be broadcast on Optus in Australia.
How can I buy Euro 2022 tickets?
Tickets for Euro 2022 can be purchased through UEFA’s official ticketing portal here. Tickets will go on sale to the general public following the group stage draw.
Fans can get priority access to tickets if they create a UEFA Euro ticketing account before July 2021.
It is worth noting that UEFA strongly advises fans against purchasing tickets via third-party websites.
It is anticipated that fans will be allowed to attend games by 2022, but any such scenario permitting supporters into stadiums will, of course, depend on the public health picture.
