Germany will be the host country for the summer's biggest football tournament. The international football highlight will unite twenty-four teams across ten host cities for a brilliant month of top-level action.
From options on whom the title winner in Germany will be to group stage forecasts, there is plenty to explore before the curtain is raised on the big tournament. Once the tournament kicks off, all the 'Pre-Match' and 'Live In-Play' betting options slide into focus.
Every step of the way, you can explore great odds on the summer's biggest football event with us at NordicBet.
Euro 2024 Tournament
The big kick-off is in June 2024, with host nation Germany in action. There are 50 matches in the tournament, culminating in the final on July 14th. The group stage is where most of the competition's matches are played.
That's where the race for a 'Top-Two Finish' is on and a popular area for football betting. Only a top-two spot guarantees a place in the competition's knockout phase. The four best third-place finishers join the dozen teams that automatically qualify for the Round of 16.
Following the group stage, the knockout format can lead to intense clashes, often producing dramatic penalty shoot-outs. There is a market to select whether a fixture will go to penalties. It is one of the most popular types of prop bets on offer and can also be found under Champions League betting and in Europa League odds.
Some teams will prefer to adopt an attacking approach to make the most of their opportunity. Others will be happy to emphasise maintaining their spot in the knockouts by keeping tight defensively.
All in all, 50 matches will be played, culminating in the big one, the final. Italy upset hosts England in the most recent edition of the big summer tournament. Now, the action starts again in another stunning summer of football betting.
The Front Runners Updates
England remain the current market leader to win the next edition of Europe's biggest international soccer tournament. France, with its solid core blending perfectly with star talent, is expected to have a big shout.
Three other nations in the 'Outright Winner Market' come in under double figures: Germany, Spain, and Portugal.
Germany, despite having a very poor 2023, is still rated as a threat on home soil. Thanks to their stellar qualification campaign, albeit against largely lower-tiered opposition, Portugal are among the leading pack of challengers.
Two-time champions Spain are also in that pack of main title challengers, with the odds suggesting the likes of Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands have plenty of catching up to do.
Long-Term Football Bets
Looking at the 'Tournament Winner' market well ahead of time can bring big odds into play as time creates an element of unpredictability.
The odds in the 'Tournament Winner' market will shift the closer the tournament gets. That's when things like current form and squad selection can be put under the microscope and better reflected in the odds.
Another popular long-term selection for this leading continental football highlight is selecting group winners. Eight groups of four teams play in the competition, which is organised by seeding. Football acca picks are easily created at NordicBet, allowing punters to select more than one group winner in a single wager.
Teams can be selected 'To Finish Bottom' of their group for summer football betting in 2024 or bet on not qualifying for the knockout stages. Big upsets have happened at the tournament, where supposed title contenders fail to get out of the group stage.
Other long-term tournament bets are found for individual player success. Stars players that are backed week-in, week-out under our Bundesliga betting and Premier League odds section have the chance to shine on the international stage. They come into focus in the 'Top Goalscorer', 'Top Assists', and 'Player of the Tournament' markets.
Football Betting at NordicBet
Punters will have different approaches to betting on the summer tournament in 2024 in Germany. Underdogs will be backed, football accas will be created, and bets will be cashed out and enhanced odds on the biggest football event this summer will be snapped up.
With 50 matches in football's leading summer competition, there is a lot to digest. The 'Match Winner' market is the most popular for football betting, and this will be the case throughout this latest edition.
While selecting 'Match Winner' odds is a staple of betting odds on the summer's biggest football tournament, the variety at NordicBet goes a lot deeper. The football betting 'Handicap' option is one of the leading alternatives to the 'Match Winners' market, especially when a strong team takes on an underdog.
The 'Over/Under 2.5 Goals' market is hugely popular as punters determine whether a fixture will be a free-scoring open game or a tight battle of attrition in the knockout stages. 'Over/Under' picks don't have to be just on the total goals in the game; they can focus on halves or just a specific team's totals.

Prop bets on the number of assists, goals, corners, and cards produced from the match all add to the great options for the big tournament.
It is about more than just the matches at the summer tournament, too. Long before getting to that stage, there is an extensive qualifying campaign that teams have to go through. It features 52 teams and more than 180 matches.
