The studio team boasts talents like Jules Breach as host and analysts including Ariane Hingst, Daniel Sturridge, Peter Schmeichel, Stu Holden, and Chiellini.
Maurice Edu and Alexi Lalas, former USMNT players, will contribute to FOX’s coverage when their schedules permit, balancing their commitments to Copa America analysis.

The UEFA European Championship, also known as the Euros, crowns Europe’s top national team. It is the second most-watched soccer tournament globally, trailing only the World Cup.
Ten nations have claimed the Euro title: Germany and Spain with three each; Italy and France with two each; and the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, and Portugal with one each. Held every four years, the tournament takes place in even-numbered years between World Cups. In 2024, Germany will host the tournament for the first time since reunification. The final will be held at Berlin’s Olympiastadion, a historic venue that previously hosted the 2006 World Cup and 2015 Champions League finals. This iconic stadium, originally built for the 1936 Olympics, provides a fitting backdrop for the culmination of the European Championship.
