Euro 2024 Group B: Fixtures, results and how to watch
- Defending champions Italy were drawn out of Pot 4 into Group B
- Spain and Croatia join Luciano Spalletti's side
- Albania are the group's underdogs but enjoyed a strong qualifying campaign
Defending European champions Italy were drawn in a tricky Group B ahead of Euro 2024 in Germany.
Seeded in Pot 4 after an underwhelming qualification campaign, Italy were always likely to come up against lofty opposition. Luciano Spalletti's side have been pitted against three-time champions Spain, a Croatia side fresh from a bronze medal at the last World Cup and Albania.
Unlike the other occupants in Group B, Albania's pedigree in the competition is lacking. Albania have only ever appeared at one previous European Championships, claiming just one win at Euro 2016. However, a side led by former Arsenal full-back Sylvinho did string together a seven-game unbeaten sequence in qualifying for this tournament.

How to watch Euro 2024 on TV and live stream
Britain's terrestrial giants of the BBC and ITV will once again share broadcasting rights for a men's major football tournament. As was the case for the 2022 World Cup, the group games and knockout stages will be evenly divided between the broadcasters before the showpiece event is beamed out on both channels.
The European Championships is very much a global affair these days, with Canada and the United States also providing multiple broadcasters for the event. While TSN and TVA Sports share the coverage north of the border, US stations Fox Sports, FuboTV and TelevisaUnivision hold the rights.
