How to watch the European Championships abroad
If you are on holiday you can still tune into BBC One or BBC Two live by using a VPN. A VPN unblocks UK TV so you can watch it in any other country. VPNs are a piece of reliable and affordable software that you can install on your computer, laptop or tablet. We recommend NordVPN – check it out here.
