The Spain Euro 2020 fixtures begin against Sweden on June 14.
Spain's Euro 2020 fixtures begin against Sweden on home turf in Seville on June 14, when they kick off their quest to reclaim the European crown.
As the name suggests, Euro 2020 was supposed to take place last year, but the coronavirus pandemic forced UEFA to postpone the tournament by 12 months.
The competition, which will be held in 11 different cities in the same number of countries, begins with a meeting between Italy and Turkey in Rome on June 11.
The final will take place a month later, with England, France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and Germany among the favourites to be walking out at Wembley on July 11.
