Channel 4 Euro 2024 qualifiers line-up: presenters, pundits, commentators with Jules Breach

Channel 4 will be bringing all the coverage of England’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

The broadcaster will show everyone of the Three Lions qualifier games for the tournament in Germany as well as two friendly matches this year. Gareth Southgate’s men got off to the perfect start after beating Italy 2-1 in Naples.

Harry Kane and co will be back in action on Sunday (26 March) as they face Ukraine and look to make it six points from six. The last time the two teams met was in the quarter final at Euro 2020 as England ran out 4-0 winners.

Channel 4 have announced their pundits, commentators and lead presenter for coverage of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. The broadcaster has the rights to show two games next year as well.

Who are the pundits?

Speaking prior to England’s game against Italy, Channel 4’s Chief Content Officer Ian Katz said: “This will be England’s first match since the devastating defeat against France and they’ll face an Italy side with a point to prove having missed out on the World Cup. It’s a crucial opening match and I’m thrilled viewers will have the insight of Steven Gerrard, Jill Scott and Joe Cole who all know exactly the kind of pressure Harry Kane and the team will be under.”

Former Ukraine manager Andriy Shevchenko is also part of the line-up for the Ukraine game.
