Euro 2028 Schedule Revealed Alongside Exciting Ticket Price Promise

Euro 2028 is set to be a standout event as the organizers have revealed key details regarding ticket pricing and match schedules. Notably, ticket sales will not employ a dynamic pricing model, a decision welcomed by fans. This commitment aims to promote accessibility for all attendees.

Static Ticket Pricing Commitment

The organizers have pledged to avoid dynamic ticket pricing for Euro 2028 matches hosted in Britain and Ireland. This decision addresses concerns raised by fans regarding variable pricing, which has been criticized since its implementation during FIFA’s 2026 World Cup.

Debbie Hewitt, chair of the Football Association, emphasized their stance during an event. “We’re not a fan of dynamic ticketing pricing. UEFA has heard that loud and clear,” she stated. This collaborative approach with UEFA aims to ensure a more accessible tournament for spectators.

Match Schedule Overview

Euro 2028 will feature a total of 24 teams competing across England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. The tournament kicks off on June 9, 2028, with Wales hosting the opening match at the National Stadium in Cardiff.

Key Dates and Locations

• Opening Match: June 9, 2028 – Cardiff
• Final: July 9, 2028 – Wembley, London at 5 PM
• Venues:
  • Aviva Stadium, Dublin
  • Hampden Park, Glasgow
  • Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
  • Aston Villa’s Ground, Birmingham

The final at Wembley is scheduled three hours earlier than the last men’s Euros held there in 2021, which was marred by fan unrest. This earlier kickoff time is designed to enhance the match experience and improve accessibility for fans.

Group Stages and Potential Matches

If all host nations qualify, they will play their group matches on home soil. England’s journey will begin at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester and conclude at Wembley. Should they progress, potential locations for the last-16 match include St James’ Park in Newcastle or Everton’s new stadium.

The quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final will return to Wembley if England advances through the knockout stages.

History and Expectations

England’s men’s team has reached back-to-back Euros finals but has yet to claim the trophy. The upcoming tournament follows a rich history, with England hosting the entirety of the men’s Euros in 1996 and partially hosting in 2021 during the pandemic.

With a focus on accessibility and fan experience, Euro 2028 promises to be a historic and memorable event for football fans across the participating nations.
