Get ready for an absolutely spectacular summer of sport! Sky Sports has announced a wonderful expansion to its schedule, adding the UEFA Under-21 Championship 2017 to what is already set to be its biggest ever summer of television coverage. This exciting tournament, featuring Europe's most talented young players, kicks off live on Sky Sports on 16 June and will culminate in a grand final from Krakow on 30 June.
This championship sits proudly at the heart of an unrivalled summer lineup. Alongside the football, viewers can look forward to the ICC Champions Trophy, the ICC Women's World Cup, the British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand, The Open, and every single F1® race, including the thrilling event at Silverstone. It truly is a season packed with world-class entertainment for sports fans of all ages.
Sky Sports has secured the rights to show the next three tournaments through to 2021, ensuring fans can follow the journey of these rising stars for years to come. This summer, hosts Poland are in England's group alongside Slovakia and the holders, Sweden. The squad features exciting talent such as PFA Young Player of the Year nominee Jordan Pickford, Everton's Tom Davies, and Leicester's Demarai Gray, all of whom are in contention to play for the Three Lions.
History suggests great things are possible! Remember how Jesse Lingard scored the winning goal against Sweden at the last Championships? With past heroes like Harry Kane, John Stones, Jack Butland, and Michael Keane having featured in 2015, Aidy Boothroyd's men are eager to progress further than their group stage exit last time around. As Gary Hughes, Sky Sports Head of Football, beautifully put it, this tournament unearths future greats and is incredibly difficult to predict, making it an exciting proposition for everyone.
The UEFA Under-21 Championship 2017 will follow the end of a fantastic domestic football season on Sky Sports, which has already included the Premier League run-in, the EFL play-offs, and various cup finales across Europe. Who will be the next Harry Kane? Can England win their first title since 1984? Sky Sports is the only place to find out.
