The countdown to Euro 2024 has begun.

The 17th edition of the UEFA European Championship is just around the corner, as 24 teams from across the continent prepare to fight it out for the right to be crowned kings of Europe.

The tournament, hosted by Germany, runs from June 14-July 14 and will see 51 matches played across 10 venues.

Established powerhouses, such as Spain, holders Italy, England and home nation Germany, will go up against some less familiar faces, with Albania making their second European Championship finals appearance and debutants Georgia hoping to spring a surprise.

But before the action begins, there will be a warm-up period, where sides will test themselves in non-competitive action to get ready for the tournament proper.

The Sporting News rounds up the latest schedule, scores and results from all the warm-up games ahead of the finals.
