ITV reveal line-up for Euro 2024 coverage including Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Premier League and EFL managers
ITV have announced their star-studded Euro 2024 pundit line-up.
The action in Germany gets underway on June 4 when the channel provides live coverage of the opening match between the hosts and Scotland in Munich.
ITV will also show England’s final group game against Slovenia and will have picks one, two and three of the Round of 16 as well as first pick of the Semi-finals.
For those watching Euro 2024 from home, the popular Mark Pougatch and Laura Woods will be presenting their coverage.
But it is the array of pundits that armchair supporters have been looking forward to discovering the most.
And ITV certainly have not disappointed with both Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville signed up.
Arsenal icon Ian Wright, who has just left his role on BBC’s Match of the Day, is also there along with the formidable Graeme Souness.
Ex-Lionesses stars Karen Carney and Eni Aluko are also included in the all-star cast.
And Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou will also make his debut in the studio for ITV along with Championship club Sheffield Wednesday’s German boss Danny Rohl.
And it will be Christina Unkel who will be tasked with explaining some of the on-field decisions in her role as ITV’s refereeing analyst.

They will be complemented by a range of bespoke content on ITV Football’s platforms and on ITVX so wherever they are, viewers can immerse themselves in all the action from the tournament.
