Euro 2020 is here and we're still calling it Euro 2020 even though it's in 2021 because UEFA have a bunch of unused merchandise to flog, okay?
It might be a year late but excitement is starting to build for
Euro 2020 and what should be a memorable tournament. It's the first Euros since 2008 that Ireland haven't been involved in but at least we have
Bono and The Edge doing the theme tune right?
One of the best parts about this particular tournament is that many of us are still working from home meaning you can throw on a match at 2pm and nobody will be any the wiser - unless a pesky Zoom call gets in the way.
As always, RTÉ will show every game where possible and another on RTÉ Player when there's a simultaneous kick-off, if past tournaments are anything to go by.
As for the TV stations across the water, there's a fairly even split between BBC and ITV and you can mark all the kick-off times and channels in your diary with our guide below.
With a number of countries being potential winners and the likes of Mbappe, De Bruyne, Ronaldo, Foden and Scott McTominay on show, Euro 2020 is sure to bring four weeks of joy to any football fan.
