Five teams make their debut in this tournament: Albania, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia and Wales.
The tournament will take place from June 10 to July 10.
Here's how it works:
- The twenty-four teams are split into six groups of four. Each team in their group plays everyone else in their group, so each team plays thrice in the Groups. Three for a win, one for a draw and zero for a loss.
- After all games are played the top two teams in each group automatically qualify for the Round of 16. The remaining four places are determined by the records of the 3rd placed teams, the four teams with the best record also qualify.
- After that it's straight knockout format until one team is left standing at the end. If the match is tied, extra time and if still tied, penalties are taken until there is an outright winner.
