European Athletics Championships Land On BBC Sport
BBC Sport has secured a four-year agreement with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) for the rights to the European Athletics Championships.
The deal runs until the end of 2027 and tales effect from this year’s European Athletics Championships, which will take place in Rome between 7th and 12th June.
The partnership also covers the 2026 edition of the championships in Birmingham, as well as the 2025 and 2027 European Athletics Indoor Championships, and the annual European Cross Country Championships for the next four years.
The UK public service broadcaster will provide ‘extensive coverage’ on the BBC iPlayer streaming platform, as well as on the BBC Sport online website and app.
BBC Sports’ athletics content offering also includes this year’s Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the World Athletic Championships, the London Marathon and the Great North Run.
Philip Bernie, Interim Director of BBC Sport, said, “Adding the European Athletics Championships to our athletics portfolio is great news for audiences, who get to watch the best athletes in the world regularly on the BBC.
“The European Athletic Championships in Rome promises to be a high class event, and we can’t wait to see how Team GB performs in the build up to the Paris Olympic Games which will be live on the BBC later this summer.”
