S4C will broadcast live coverage of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship 2026 this summer, as north Wales hosts the international tournament for the first time.

The competition will take place between 28 June and 11 July 2026, with matches held in Wrexham, Bangor, Caernarfon and Denbigh.

S4C will show every Cymru match live, as well as the tournament final, with coverage available on S4C Clic, BBC iPlayer and Sgorio’r YouTube channel.

Welsh and English language commentary will be available.

Eight nations will take part in the tournament: Cymru, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Croatia, Serbia, Italy and Ukraine. The competition will see Europe’s top young players compete against each other, with Cymru drawn in Group A alongside Spain, Germany and Denmark.

Former Cymru international and Under-19s head coach Chris Gunter said: “We know we’ll be extremely well supported both in the stadium and everywhere else. We are really pleased that S4C will be showing our games. It gives fans the opportunity to follow us from afar for those who are unable to make it to the stadium.”

Sue Butler, S4C’s Head of Sport, added: “S4C has a long-standing commitment to Welsh football, and we’re delighted to offer coverage of Cymru’s matches in this tournament being held across North Wales this summer.

“With both Welsh and English commentary available, we want to make the action accessible to audiences across the country, while continuing to support and showcase Welsh football at every level.”
