Is the European Athletics Championships 2024 on TV?
No. At the time of writing, nobody has claimed the TV rights for the European Athletics Championships.
The Daily Mail first reported on 31st May that the BBC is yet to secure TV rights for the event despite it being traditionally shown via the broadcaster.
The report suggests the BBC is still in negotiations with rights holders, the European Broadcasting Union, in the week leading up to the event. However, time is running out to secure the rights with the event fast-approaching.
