BBC have announced plans for their coverage of 2022 UEFA Women’s Euros between 6-31 July.

Like at 2019 FIFA World Cup, Gabby Logan will lead BBC’s live coverage across BBC One and BBC Two plus BBC iPlayer, with Alex Scott, Reshmin Chowdhury, Eilidh Barbour and Kelly Somers also set to host matches across the tournament.
Somers will also serve as tournament reporter when she isn’t hosting live matches, which will see her deliver live updates from the Lionesses camp alongside Jo Currie, who will be the main England camp reporter throughout the tournament.

- Fara Williams
- Ian Wright
- Kelly Smith
- Anita Asante
- Izzy Christensen
- Rachel Brown-Finnis
- Sue Smith
Away from punditry and presenting duty, Scott will also host a new BBC iPlayer documentary titled ‘Alex Scott: The Future Of Women’s Football’ looking at the growth of the women’s game both in UK and internationally.
There will also be a variety of pundits from across other nations featuring in the tournament, including Northern Ireland and Glentoran forward, Caragh Hamilton plus former Northern Ireland captain – Gail Redmond.
Spain and Manchester City midfielder, Vicky Losada will also be involved as will be Arsenal Women Head Coach, Jonas Eidevall, ex France defender – Laura Georges, Netherlands’ Anouk Hoogendjik and ex Birmingham City Women manager – Scott Booth.
Robyn Cowen and Vicki Sparks will head up the commentary team across all platforms, with Jonathan Pearce, Pien Meulensteen, and Mark Scott also on the commentary team.
Thomas Kane and Nicola McCarthy will follow Northern Ireland’s journey with Kane reporting from the camp, whilst McCarthy will be their tournament reporter.
