Respite is minimal following the conclusion of the 2023/24 season with a European Championship to be played this summer.
Euro 2024 genuinely could be the last of its kind. UEFA's increased appetite for continental expansion mean singular hosts may become increasingly rare, but Germany and Germany alone will stage the upcoming tournament.
With the Copa America running almost simultaneously over in the United States, a festival of summer football will be enjoyed by fans all over the world.
A crucial aspect of major international tournaments is the ease of broadcasting access. For those in the United Kingdom, no subscriptions are required to watch all the action unfold. The traditional big two will dominate our screens for a month this summer.
