At this stage, SBS plan to show eight live matches from the knockout stages including the final on SBS and SBS HD. There will also be a daily highlights show on SBS 2. There is still no word out of Foxtel as to whether they will broadcast any of the matches.
The 2016 edition of the European Football championships is set to be a hard-fought tournament, with 24 teams competing across France for the Henri Delauney Trophy.
