Italy Begin Title Defence

Italy begin the defence of their European crown as they take on Albania in their Euro 2024 opener. Coverage of the match is split between FOX in the USA and BBC iPlayer in the UK. The match kicks off from Signal Iduna Park on June 15 at 3pm ET / 8pm BST.

Despite Italy's struggles over the past year, the UEFA Euro 2020 winners are still the favorites to win the tournament. They will be looking to get their campaign off to a winning start against an Albania side that will be no pushovers. Albania are ranked 66th in the FIFA World Rankings, but they have a number of talented players in their squad, including Napoli striker Armando Broja and Atalanta midfielder Etrit Berisha.

The match is sure to be a close encounter, and it could go either way. Italy will be looking to control the game with their possession-based style of play, while Albania will be looking to hit them on the counter-attack.
