If Euro 2020 feels bigger than previous editions, that's no mistake.
No, the number of teams hasn't changed — there are still 24 teams involved, same as the 2016 tournament — but the footprint of this summer's competition is undoubtedly much larger than ever before.
That's because the tourney will be played in 11 different cities, one in each of the host countries, to create a truly pan-continental soccer celebration. This unique format came about to mark the 60th anniversary of the tournament and will not be replicated in future editions (at least for the foreseeable future).
With such a huge change, here's everything we know about the Euro 2020 tournament:

Euro 2020 host venues
As mentioned, there are 11 cities that will play host to matches. Here they are, listed by stadium capacity (first to last):
- London (Wembley Stadium, 90,000)
- Rome (Stadio Olimpico, 70,634)
- Munich (Allianz Arena, 70,000)
- Baku (Olympic Stadium, 68,700)
- Saint Petersburg (Gazprom Arena, 68,134)
- Budapest (Puskas Arena, 67,215)
- Seville (Estadio La Cartuja, 60,000)
- Bucharest (Arena Nationala, 55.600)
- Amsterdam (Johan Cruyff Arena, 54,990)
- Glasgow (Hampden Park, 51,866)
- Copenhagen (Parken Stadium, 38,065)
There were originally 13 host cities, but Brussels and Dublin were removed due to stadium construction delays and spectator limits, respectively.
An interesting wrinkle is that host nations did not automatically qualify for the tournament. This affected Romania and Azerbaijan, who were eliminated during the qualification process and thus will not field sides despite hosting matches.
No name change for Euro 2020
Aside from the multiple hosts, the most obvious characteristic of this year's edition is the name itself. With the Euros taking place every fourth year, this tournament was supposed to happen in 2020.
Like many other sporting competitions worldwide, the coronavirus pandemic forced the tournament's postponement. Although it is being played this summer, it's still officially known as Euro 2020 for branding purposes.
How many fans can attend Euro 2020 matches?
The reason Dublin isn't hosting any matches is due to an uncertainty over spectator limits. This is not the case for the remaining 11 host venues, which will range from 25 percent to 100 percent capacity.
Here are the allowed capacities at each venue, listed by percentage (top to bottom)
| Venue | Allowed capacity | Note |
| Puskas Arena | 100% | Fans subject to strict entry requirements |
| Gazprom Arena | 50% | Could increase |
| Olympic Stadium | 50% | Only fans of participating teams allowed |
| Parken Stadium | 40% | |
| Johan Cruyff | 33.3% | Could increase |
| Estadio La Cartuja | 30% | |
| Arena Nationala | 25% | Could increase |
| Hampden Park | 25% | |
| Wembley Stadium | 25% | Could increase for semis and final |
| Stadio Olimpico | 25% | Could increase |
| Allianz Arena | 20% |
