Italy vs England: Who are the UK pundits for Euro 2020 final? Is Ally McCoist commentating?

The Euro 2020 final will be shown on both BBC and ITV, but fans hoping for a slice of popular commentary team Ally McCoist and Clive Tyldesley are set to be left disappointed.

Unless you live on the moon, you can’t fail to have noticed that the final of the European Championships will take place this weekend.

Millions upon millions of viewers have watched each game throughout the tournament, with viewing figures rising with each passing stage of the tournament, as both BBC and ITV share broadcasting duties throughout Euro 2020.

The final, which will be hosted at London’s Wembley Stadium, sees home nation England in their first major tournament final since 1966 as they face Roberto Mancini’s Italy in front of a crowd that could host as many as 67,000 spectators, including a host of famous faces.

The Three Lions have saw off old rivals Germany, Ukraine and Denmark in the knockout stages of the competition, with Harry Kane’s extra time goal against Denmark on Wednesday sealing his side’s place in the European Championships for the first time ever. Italy, on the other hand, have beaten Austria and much fancied Belgium in the knockout rounds, before they booked their place in the final of the tournament with a penalty shoot out victory over Luis Enrique’s Spain earlier in the week.

Spare tickets for the game are reaching prices as high as £6,000, as England fans across the country scramble for last minute tickets to the showcase final.

However, with Covid-19 restrictions meaning the stadium is unable to reach full capacity, many across the nation will be forced to tune in to BBC or ITV, with the final broadcast live on both channels.

Calls for the loveable duo of Clive Tyldesley and Ally McCoist and the increasingly popular Emma Hayes look to have fallen on deaf ears with broadcasters though, with both BBC and ITV confirming their full list of commentators and pundits for the final.
