The European Athletics Championships 2024 marks the start of a huge summer for track and field superstars.

Of course, the world is gearing up for intense, high-octane competition at the Olympic Games in Paris, but this week is Rome's turn to showcase the best and brightest of European athletes.

More than 70 British stars are expected to jet out to Italy, including Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Keely Hodgkinson and Zharnel Hughes among others.

However, with just days to go until the event begins, UK TV audiences are facing the prospect of a broadcast blackout.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the latest details with regards to watching the European Athletics Championships live on TV in 2024.

When is the European Athletics Championships 2024?

The European Athletics Championships begin on Friday 7th June 2024.

The championships run until Wednesday 12th June 2024, when athletes pack up and depart Rome.

Is the European Athletics Championships 2024 on TV?

Yes. BBC has struck a late deal to show the European Athletics Championships across their platforms.

Coverage of the European Athletics Championships 2024 will be live on BBC Red Button and BBC iPlayer online.

The Daily Mail first reported on 31st May that the BBC had not secured TV rights for the event despite it being traditionally shown via the broadcaster.

The report suggested the BBC was still in negotiations with rights holders, the European Broadcasting Union, and a deal has now been rubber stamped.
