Euro 2024 moves into knockout phase with Round of 16 fixtures now confirmed

After a pulsating first 12 days of unmissable UEFA EURO 2024™ action, the tournament now moves into the knockout stages with 16 teams advancing from the groups to face do-or-die clashes, with the first match being played on Sunday, June 30 at 2am (AEST). 

Spain are the only team to qualify with a 100% record, winning all three of their games without conceding a goal and have become tournament favourites in the process. Defending champions Italy needed a last-gasp equaliser in their final group match to seal their safe passage, while pre-tournament favourites England are being criticised for their performance so far, despite topping their group.  

Some other key highlights ahead of the next round of fixtures: 

• Switzerland v Italy kicks things off on Sunday morning at 2am (AEST) as the red-hot Swiss look to knock out the defending champions having eliminated France at this stage of EURO 2020. 
• After that from 5am (AEST), EURO 2024 hosts Germany will tackle a Denmark side that won’t roll over without a fight having made the semi-finals three years ago. 
• The action continues on Monday morning with England looking to silence their critics against Slovakia, who stunned Belgium in the group stages.  
• An in-form Spain takes on tournament debutants Georgia as they look to continue their fairytale run. 
• Tuesday kicks off with a heavyweight clash between France and Belgium with both teams eager to put an underwhelming group stage behind them.  
• A star-studded Tuesday morning will then see Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal face Slovenia, who notably shut out the Three Lions last time out. 
• Round of 16 action then concludes on Wednesday with an impressive Romania tackling a stuttering Netherlands before tournament dark horses Austria play Türkiye.
