When is the Euro 2020 final taking place? Date, time and venue for showpiece event

The European Championships will finally begin on June 11, with 24 teams going head-to-head for the right to be crowned champions of Europe this summer.

Six groups of four teams, followed by four knockout stages will see 51 games in total take place at Euro 2020 as 11 different cities play host to some of the biggest stars in the sport.

With the first game taking place between Italy and Turkey in Rome, plenty of people want to know when the big day is that the winner will be crowned and we've got you covered.

Here's all the details you need about the Euro 2020 final.

When is the Euro 2020 final?
The final of the tournament will take place on July 11 2021, exactly one month after the tournament begins.

Where is the final taking place?
England's national stadium Wembley will play host to the final of Euro 2020, as well as the semi-finals.

Wembley will also host all of England group games as well as the round of 16 tie between the winner of group D and runners-up of group F.

What time does the game kick off?
The game will have a prime-time slot for kick-off, with a scheduled 20:00 BST start.

What other finals have taken place at Wembley?
Other than domestic finals in England, Wembley has played host to some of the biggest games in the continental calendar too.

The stadium re-opened in 2007 and hosted the 2011 Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona, before hosting the 2013 Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also.

It also hosted the gold medal match during the London 2012 Olympic games.

Prior to its refurbishment, Wembley also hosted the final of the 1966 World Cup final as well as the final of Euro 96 which was hosted by England too.

Who are the favourites?
Usually there are one or two teams that truly stand out amongst the pack as favourites to lift the trophy at the end of the tournament, but there are considerably more contenders this time around.

France's squad on paper is strong with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Paul Pogba lining up alongside a returning Karim Benzema but they're not the only squad filled with superstars.

Reigning and defending champions Portugal still have Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line, while other quality players such as Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix and Bernardo Silva are among their options too.

England's own squad is considerably stronger than it was when they made it to the 2018 World Cup semi-finals.

Add to that the Belgians, Germans, Dutch, Italians and Spanish and this tournament is set up to be an absolute cracker.

France are the bookies favourites having made the 2016 final and then won the World Cup two years later and it's hard to envisage a tournament where they don't end up at Wembley on July 11.
