Extensive free-to-air coverage through national generalist TV and digital channels – members of the European Broadcasting Union – will once again deliver substantial audiences across all of Europe and the world.
The European Championships brings together the continental championships of some of the leading sports into one multi-sport event to create a must-watch, must-attend experience that elevates the Champions of Europe. The innovative staging model for the best European athletes is specifically designed so that a major international event can be delivered in a cost-efficient and sustainable way affordable for many cities in Europe.
