After what seems like an eternity, Euro 2020 is now underway.
Of course, technically, it should be called Euro 2021, however, the tournament retains its name after being cancelled last year due to the pandemic.
The good news is that you can watch Euro 2020 in Thailand for free.
After it looked like football fans in Thailand were not going to be able to watch any of the games on TV, the government announced a last minute deal had been reached with UEFA to broadcast the matches to fans in the Land of Smiles.
Just hours before the start of the tournament on June 12, Prime Minister’s Office Minister Anucha Nakasai announced that state owned broadcaster NBT2HB would be broadcasting the matches.
All the matches will be broadcast live until the tournament ends on July 11.
Businessman Mr.Komol Jungrungreangkit, chairman of Aerosoft Summit Footwear was said to have bought the rights to the tournament and allowed the state broadcaster to show the games.
