A global audience of 50 million was projected for the July 31 final when host England beat Germany 2-1, watching television in- and out-of-home plus on live streams. UEFA said that figure would be more than three times the cumulative live audience for the 2017 final, when the host nation Netherlands beat Denmark.

Euro 2022 was projected to have doubled its live audience since 2017 which was also a 16-team tournament played over 31 games.
