Mark Pougatch, Seema Jaswal and Reshmin Chowdhury will be on presenter duties, and they'll be joined by pundits such as Ian Wright, Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Patrick Vieira, Graeme Souness, Ashley Cole, Eni Aluko, Robert Earnshaw, Emma Hayes, Nigel de Jong, John Collins, Joe Ledley, Nadia Nadim, Scott Brown and Andros Townsend.
Watching Euro 2020 on ITV outside the UK
Th ITV Hub can only be used by users with a UK-based IP address. This means that if you happen to be outside the UK during Euro 2020, you won’t be able to follow ITV’s live coverage of the event unless you use a VPN.
A VPN is a private network that reroutes your connection through a remote server to disguise your true location on the internet. Once you have connected to a UK-based IP address using the service of your choice, you should be able to access ITV Hub apps just like you were back in the country watching at home.
