Basel, Schweiz - The UEFA European Women's Championship 2025, which will take place in Switzerland from July 2 to 27, promises a major event for football fans.

program changes in TV

The football broadcasts have extensive program changes. Many popular series and shows have to be postponed or removed from the program due to football broadcasts.
