Twelve months on from when it was originally due to take place, the 2020 European Championships will finally take place in June.
Following the global coronavirus pandemic last year, Euro 2020 was postponed - but guess what? This year, it's coming home.
For the first time in the competition's history, all fixtures will be played across the continent, with the likes of England's Wembley Stadium hosting the semi-final onwards.
After impressing in recent tournaments and building an exciting, youthful squad, England have emerged as the pre-tournament favourites - and it comes as no surprise, too.

Gareth Southgate will have the likes of Manchester City's Phil Foden and Chelsea's Mason Mount - recent Champions League finalists - at his disposal, with both players bringing something different to the table.
And with the Euro 2020 final being played at Wembley - the home of English football - it only seems fitting that the Three Lions lift their first piece of silverware since winning the 1966 World Cup.
Meanwhile, a talent-packed France - including world-class finisher Kylian Mbappe - are considered to be the other front-runners, seeking to add to their World Cup win in 2018.

Portugal will also be confident of retaining their crown, having assembled a stronger support cast for Cristiano Ronaldo, especially in midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes.
Here, SPORTbible takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of the upcoming European Championship.
