Euro 2028 Key Facts
Dates
9 June – 9 July 2028
Hosts
England, Scotland, Wales, Rep. of Ireland
Teams
24
Format
Group stage, then knockouts
When Will the Teams Be Known?
Not yet. The host nations do not qualify automatically, so England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland all have to go through qualifying, with two places held back for hosts who miss out. The qualifying draw takes place on 6 December 2026 in Belfast, and the final 24 teams will not be set until qualifying finishes in 2027. Do the sweepstake draw after that, so nobody is stuck with a team that is not in the tournament.

Tips for a Fair Team Draw
- Fewer people than teams: give some people two or three teams, and try to balance strong and weak sides so one person does not hold all the favourites.
- More people than teams: pair people up, or run a second sweepstake for the knockout rounds.
- Decide what wins: the champion only, or also the runner-up and the top scorer's team.
- Prizes: bragging rights is the easiest. If your group adds a prize, handle it yourselves outside the app and keep it small.
