UEFA confirmed three kick-off times for the 24-team, 51-game tournament: 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. (both CEST). The exact schedule will be published after the 2027 draw. The lots for the European Championship qualification will be drawn in Belfast on December 6, 2026.

The final three games of a European Championship in a stadium last took place in 2021. In the final round, which was postponed by a year due to the corona pandemic, both semi-finals and the final were also held at Wembley Stadium in London. Germany failed in the round of 16 against eventual European runners-up England.
