FOX is set to debut as a broadcaster for the European Championship at Euro 2024. The broadcasting giant has released its full list of commentary teams for the group stage of the competition as it quickly approaches.
While this is FOX's first time broadcasting the Euros, it has a rich history of covering international tournaments. The network has been airing both men’s and women’s World Cup tournaments since 2015. Additionally, FOX holds broadcasting rights for the CONMEBOL Copa America since taking over those in 2021.
To mark its entry into Euros broadcasting, FOX has assembled an impressive lineup of talent including both studio crews and commentators. The studio crew boasts renowned names like Alexi Lalas, Maurice Edu, and Stu Holden, alongside Europe-based personalities such as Giorgio Chiellini, Daniel Sturridge, Peter Schmeichel, and Ariane Hingst.
Now fans also know who will be providing the audio accompaniment to the action on the pitch, arguably the most important part of the broadcast team.
Four lead commentators will cover the action for Fox at Euro 2024:
- Ian Darke
- Derek Rae
- Jacqui Oatley
- Darren Fletcher
These familiar voices have previously contributed to FOX’s World Cup commentary during the tournament in Qatar. Meanwhile, TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher brings extensive experience from calling Premier League and UEFA Champions League matches.
Well-known analysts and former players will support these play-by-play masters:
- Landon Donovan
- Robert Green
- Warren Barton
- Owen Hargreaves
They will provide valuable insights during games throughout the tournament.
Fox holds the rights to almost all games at Euro 2024 in the US. However, five games won't be available on Fox due to Fubo holding exclusive rights for those matches. The 'World Feed' commentators will cover these games.
The commentary teams for the group-stage matches that Fox is showing are as follows:
