Euro 2028 Hub
UEFA Euro 2028 is set to be staged across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland — England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic will jointly host the continent's premier international tournament. With Wembley as the showpiece final venue, a generation of current stars will be at or near their peak in the summer of 2028, making it one of the most anticipated European Championships in decades.
UK & Ireland Host Bid
The joint UK and Republic of Ireland bid was awarded hosting rights by UEFA in October 2023, defeating the rival Turkey bid. England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland will each stage group stage matches and knockout rounds. Wembley Stadium in London is confirmed as the final venue, with Hampden Park in Glasgow, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, and Cardiff's Principality Stadium also hosting key matches.
The political novelty of all four home nations — and the Republic — co-hosting a major tournament is historically significant. It will be the first major international tournament held in the UK since Euro 1996, which England hosted alone and reached the semi-finals, losing on penalties to Germany in the iconic Wembley semi-final. England's "football's coming home" narrative will resurface again in 2028 with full intensity.
For Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, co-hosting guarantees home matches and automatic qualification — potentially ensuring historic deep tournament runs for nations that rarely reach major championships through normal qualifying routes.
Nations to Watch
England
Lamine Yamal, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Jude Bellingham will be 23-25 in 2028 — potentially at the absolute peak of their powers. If England can add a reliable striker and maintain defensive solidity, a home tournament with Wembley hosting the final represents the best opportunity in decades to end the international trophy drought.
Germany
Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala will be 24 and 25 in 2028 — a golden generation potentially at its peak. Germany hosting Euro 2024 gave them home tournament experience that should inform 2028. Die Mannschaft are rebuilding under a younger core and 2028 could represent their best chance since their 2014 World Cup triumph.
Spain
Euro 2024 champions Spain have a generation that peaks around 2026-2028. Lamine Yamal will be 21, Nico Williams 22, Pedri 26. The question for Spain in 2028 is whether they can sustain the dominance of their 2024 triumph into another continental competition while managing the physical toll of the 2026 World Cup cycle.
