Latest Updates
Euro 2016 is just one day away and football fever is gripping the country. But with no fanzone in place, where can people see the games? How can you watch at home or at work? Uncut is at hand to give you the answers:
Why is there no fanzone?
According to Gazeta Wroclawska, Wroclaw City Council were conducting analysis on possible sites for the fan zone, but struggled to come up with a venue seeing as most of the ideal locations have already been booked for events related to the European Capital of Culture 2016. It is also rumoured that the council were not keen on funding a fanzone given that it could detract attention from this year's cultural events.
What time are the matches?
During the group stage, matches will kick off at 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm. Poland's first game is against Northern Ireland on Sunday at 6pm, followed by the clash with Germany on Thursday at 9pm. The national team's last group game is against Ukraine on Tuesday 21st at 6pm. Later on in the tournament all the games will kick off at 9pm.
How Can I Watch At Home?
Just over half of the matches at this year's European Football Championships will be exclusive to Polsat Sport. However Poland games, the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final are to be broadcasted on free-to-air channels. State broadcaster TVP will also show 11 matches, having paid handsomely to reach an agreement with Polsat.
The price of the Polsat's Euro 2016 package varies depending on the cable TV operator, with most TV companies charging somewhere in the region of 100zl. For that sum viewers will be able to tune into every match, each of which is to be accompanied by a beefed-up punditry team providing in-depth analysis without any advert breaks. Those that don't want to stump up the cash may turn to internet streaming, or alternatively, watch the games on free-to-air channels in Germany and the Czech Republic.
Where can I see Euro 2016 in town?
