England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland host together. The clock runs to kick-off of the opening match in Cardiff.
9 June – 9 July 2028. The opening match is at the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff on Friday 9 June; the final is at Wembley on Sunday 9 July, kicking off at 5 pm — an hour UEFA picked deliberately, so the finish isn’t past anyone’s bedtime.
Nine stadiums across the four host nations: Wembley and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Villa Park in Birmingham, plus Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle’s St James’ Park in England; Hampden Park in Glasgow; the National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff; and the Dublin Arena in Ireland. The quarter-finals split across Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Wembley — every other venue gets a round-of-16 tie.
No — all four enter the qualifiers like everyone else (the draw is on 6 December 2026 in Belfast, matches through 2027). The safety net: two places are reserved for the best-ranked host nations that miss out. If three or four of them stumble, someone stays home from their own party.
