In 2012, the highly anticipated UEFA European Football Championship will be played out in eight stadiums in Poland (with venues in Warsaw, Gdańsk, Wrocław and Poznań) and Ukraine (in Kiev, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Donetsk).
The first
of 31 matches in Euro 2012 kick off on June 8, 2012 in Warsaw, on the
way to the quarter-finals leading to more intense semi-final
battles throughout the month.
Then it's on to the deciding game at Olympic Stadium
in Kiev on July 1, 2012.
Poland and Ukraine as official host countries are automatic qualifiers to participate in the Euro 2012 games. December 2, 2011 saw the final draw of 16 teams that secured a place to compete in Euro 2012. However, well before the official announcement easy predictions included Spain (as defending champions at Euro 2008) as well as Germany, France and Italy (see above for the official breakdown.)
This summer, follow the games with our Euro 2012 bracket leading up to the final in July:

Even in a Summer Olympics year, more than a million fans are expected to attend the live matches in Poland and Ukraine with millions more watching live broadcasts in more than 200 countries worldwide.
As it happened during Euro 2008, expect ESPN to be "Euro 2012 Central" for the bulk of cable television coverage. In the UK, also look forward to ITV and the BBC providing full coverage of Euro 2012 championship matches leading up to the final. Setanta
Sports will have it covered in Australia.
