The UEFA EURO 2028 will be the next major European football event — jointly hosted by England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland (Dublin). For the first time since 1996, a full European Championship will take place entirely on British and Irish soil. If you want to be there live in 2028, now is the moment to understand the key facts — and plan your ticket strategy accordingly.
Where will EURO 2028 take place?
UEFA has officially confirmed 10 host stadiums across five countries:
- England: Wembley Stadium (London, 90,000 capacity — Final), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London), Etihad Stadium (Manchester), Everton Stadium (Liverpool), St James’ Park (Newcastle), Villa Park (Birmingham)
- Wales: Principality Stadium (Cardiff)
- Scotland: Hampden Park (Glasgow)
- Northern Ireland: Casement Park (Belfast)
- Ireland: Dublin Arena / Aviva Stadium (Dublin)
When is EURO 2028?
The tournament will run during June and July 2028 — the exact schedule will be published by UEFA after qualification wraps in autumn 2027.
EURO 2028 Tickets — when does sale start?
UEFA will open its ticket portal around autumn 2027 — including a public ballot lottery, sponsor allocations, and fan-club allocations. Hospitality packages (Business Seats, Club Suites, Premium areas) typically become available earlier — sometimes 18 months in advance.
What ticket categories can I expect?
Based on EURO 2024 (Germany) and previous UEFA events, the following ranges are realistic:
- Category 4 (cheapest): approx. €30 (group stage) to €95 (final)
- Category 3: €60–150
- Category 2: €120–300
- Category 1 (best sightlines): €200–1,000
- Hospitality / Business Seats: €800–5,000+ (includes catering, VIP lounge, parking)
- Prime Hospitality / Sky Suites: €5,000+ (private boxes, exclusive access, fine dining)
How do I get guaranteed tickets — without waiting for the ballot?
UEFA’s ballot lottery has a typical success rate of 5–15% — meaning most applications remain unfulfilled. If you need guaranteed tickets, work with authorised ticket partners who hold fixed allocations.
As a B2B event ticket partner, S-E-T-T offers guaranteed EURO 2028 tickets for travel agencies, tour operators, and corporate clients — including:
- Official tickets with 100% authenticity guarantee
- Flexible categories (Standard, Premium, Hospitality)
- Optional: hotel packages, transfers, team welcome dinner
- Invoice payment (for B2B agencies via SETTHub)
- Professional group handling from 10 tickets onwards
Hotel availability: plan now
Historical data from past EUROs shows host-city hotels are 60–80% booked 12–18 months ahead of the tournament. London, Manchester and Dublin will fill up fastest and most expensively. If you want to bring groups to EURO 2028, check hotel allotments now — via our B2B booking platform, thousands of hotels across all host cities are live-bookable.
EURO 2028 FAQ
Do all 5 host nations automatically qualify?
No. Currently only Ireland is set as a pure co-host (no other qualification path as they are tournament hosts). England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland must qualify — UEFA has guaranteed each federation 2 fallback places should they not make it via regular qualification.
How many teams will compete?
24 nations — same as EURO 2024.
Can private individuals buy EURO 2028 tickets through S-E-T-T?
Via the public ticket shop, only to a limited extent. We mainly distribute B2B to travel agencies and event organisers. For private customers, we recommend the UEFA ballot lottery from autumn 2027 onwards — in parallel, you can request hospitality packages from us.
Bottom line
EURO 2028 will be a cultural event: 5 countries, 10 stadiums, 24 nations, 51 matches. If you want to be there, start now with ticket and hotel planning — not in 2027 when official sales kick in. For travel agencies offering group trips, lead time is everything: hotel allotments, transfers, and hospitality packages are reserved first.
