France’s Euro 2020 fixtures kick off against Germany in Munich on June 15 in a clash between the last two World Cup winners. 

As the name suggests, Euro 2020 was supposed to take place last year, but the coronavirus pandemic forced UEFA to postpone the tournament by 12 months.

The final will take place a month later, with England, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain  and Germany among the favourites to be walking out at Wembley on July 11.

June 23: Portugal, 8pm 

World champions France will be hoping to add a European Championship title to their collection this summer, but face a daunting task from the start in the tournament’s group of death.

France won’t be eased into the tournament though, as they face 2014 World Cup winners Germany on their home turf in Munich in a mouth-watering opener on June 15. 

Deschamps’ side then take on Hungary in Budapest on June 19, before facing reigning champions Portugal in a repeat of the 2016 final on June 23, again in the Hungarian capital.

France could still advance to the knockout phase if they finish outside the top two of their group, with four last-16 spots available to the best third-placed finishers.
