Channel 4 has become the new UK broadcaster for England's games for the next two years.

As part of the significant coup, Channel 4 will show England's Nations League group games, qualifiers for Euro 2024 and international friendlies.

In total 20 games will be shown over the period, starting with four matches in June - including a battle with Germany and a rerun of the Euro 2020 final with Italy.

Ian Katz, Channel 4's chief content officer, said: "After bringing some of the biggest sporting moments of last year to the nation, I'm delighted that Channel 4 will be airing so many mouth-watering England matches on free to air television.

"This deal shows Channel 4 can compete for some of the biggest properties in sport and will bring substantial new audiences to our award-winning slate of original programming."

Channel 4 takes over from Sky Sports and ITV as broadcaster of England games under the deal, which has been announced just days after Sky lost the rights to games involving the other home nations to new streaming service Viaplay.
