The BBC and ITV are sharing coverage of this year’s tournament and a number of matches this week will be shown on the BBC Red Button.

How do I watch BBC Red Button games?

Watching games on the Red Button service couldn’t be easier.

Simply head to BBC ONE and hit the red button on your remote, bringing up the interactive menus.

Select sport from the drop down menu and then the match of your choice.

The service on Sky, Virgin Media and Smart TVs uses streaming from BBC iPlayer, so be aware that you need to make a free account before you can watch.

There is no cost although you must have a valid UK TV licence.
