24 teams will participate in EURO 2028, as in the previous 3 editions. Unlike the preliminaries for the World Cup, the teams that finish 2nd in the groups qualify for the EURO directly, without a play-off. The match schedule and EURO 2028 logo were released on Wednesday evening.

“The brand was revealed to fans in spectacular fashion this evening at 20:28 local time on the giant Piccadilly Lights screens in the heart of London's iconic Piccadilly Circus.

At the same time, across the UK and Ireland, the new logo, as well as the logos of the host cities, were showcased at local events, including light projections on famous landmarks and taking over digital screens in city centres,” UEFA said.

Of the 4 host countries, England will host the bulk of the matches. It will be played in 6 English stadiums, while in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, games will be played in only one stadium.

London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Dublin and Cardiff are the host cities.
