And how is each match allocated?Journalist Marina Hyde lifted the lid on the process, revealing that each broadcaster operates on a ‘you-pick we-pick’ basis.READ MORE ON EURO 2024ITV kicked off the process this time around, selecting the first choice of semi-final having predicted England to go the distance.However, the BBC took a slightly different approach.On The Rest is Entertainment podcast, journalist Hyde explained: “ITV and the BBC share out games at the Euros and all tournaments.”They take it in turns to pick matches, but this time round it was ITV’s turn to pick first.Most read in Euro 2024EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERSBBC and ITV’s Euro 2024 line up in fullHere’s how each channel will line-up:BBC presenters:Gary Lineker, Alex Scott, Gabby Logan and Mark ChapmanITV presenters:Mark Pougatch and Laura Woods BBC pundits:Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Rio Ferdinand, Ellen White, Frank Lampard, Ashley Williams, Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Cesc Fabregas, Thomas Frank, David Moyes, Rachel Corsie and James McFaddenITV pundits:Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Karen Carney, Graeme Souness, Eni Aluko, Ange Postecoglou, Danny Rohl and Christina UnkelBBC commentators:Guy Mowbray, Robyn Cowen, Vicki Sparks, Steve Wilson, Steve Bower and Jonathan PearceITV commentators:Sam Matterface, Clive Tyldesley, Seb Hutchinson, Pien Meulensteen and Joe SpeightBBC co-commentators:Danny Murphy, Martin Keown, Jermaine Jenas and James McFaddenITV co-commentators:Lee Dixon, Ally McCoist and Andros Townsend”You can choose anything right from the start, it’s like a draft, but they thought ‘okay we’ll do semi-final pick one’ because they thought England will do well in this tournament.”So, when the semi-final line-up is finally decided, ITV will get to choose first… hopefully with England in it.Gary Lineker pokes fun at Harry Kane ‘s***’ row with cheeky quip live on BBC during Euro 2024 coverage”The BBC then counter, so their next thing – and this is what happened in the room for this particular Euros – the BBC then countered with quarter-final pick one.”It’s honestly like game theory.
