While most of the attention will be on the football being played, the Euro 2024 opening ceremony is also expected to draw a lot of eyeballs.

As usual, the first match of the tournament will feature the host nation as Germany will take on Scotland to kick off the competition.

But what about the opening ceremony? Here's what we know.

When is the Euro 2024 opening ceremony?

As of this writing, there have been no confirmed plans for the opening ceremony.

However, it's an established tradition that a small ceremony featuring popular music artists precedes the opening match. These events typically last 20-30 minutes.

That means, if an opening ceremony is to happen, it'll take place at the Allianz Arena in Munich immediately prior to Germany vs. Scotland.

Is there a Euro 2024 closing ceremony?

Yes. UEFA has confirmed that the tournament's official song "Fire" will be performed before the kick-off of the final on July 14.

Meduza, One Republic and Leony are the artists who recorded the song.
