BUCHARESTThis is the fixtures schedule for the Euro 2020 finals and the play-offs route.

The one-off, much-criticised format runs from June 12-July 12 2020 and takes place in an unprecedented 12 host countries across the continent.

The format is the same as Euro 2016 with 24 teams divided into six groups of four, with the top two and the four best third-placed teams going through to the last 16.

The opening match will be staged at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with the final being held at Wembley, which will host seven games in total including a game in the last 16 and both semi-finals.
