With demand for tickets inside stadiums vastly outweighing supply, the Euro 2024 fan zones have been popular all summer.
Big screens, large audiences and plenty to eat and drink add to their popularity, meaning watching the match at a fan zone is the next best thing to being at the game itself.
The popularity of these events is growing exponentially, with many requiring fans to pre-register to reserve a place inside the Euro 2024 fan zones.
Whether you’re looking for a fan zone in the UK or you want to soak up the atmosphere in Germany itself, we have you covered with all the information you need.
Euro 2024 fan zones – Germany
All of the official Euro 2024 fanzones have been named ‘Euro 2024 festival’ by the event organisers. There will be one of these official fan zones in each of the ten host cities across Germany and each one will allow supporters to enter free of charge.
Berlin
The official Berlin Euro 2024 fan zone has been held in two separate spaces. The first, at the iconic Brandenburg gate, has seen the location transformed into a huge football pitch with artificial grass and ‘the largest goal in the world’.
You may have seen that photo earlier of preparations for the #EURO2024 ‘fan mile' in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
Here it is again, along with a pic of the same area full of fans celebrating Germany's 2014 World Cup success.

This fan zone has been designed more as a meeting point for fans, but it has so far shown all fixtures played in Berlin, all of Germany’s games and all quarter-final matches. It will also show both upcoming semi-final matches.
As you can imagine, this zone has been incredibly popular among all supporters and has already contributed to some incredible fan moments at Euro 2024. The below photo shows one instance during which hundreds, if not thousands, of fans have congregated in this area.
The second fan space is located at Platz der Republik, which is in front of the Reichstag building.
This is more of a traditional fan zone, and has been open every day throughout, showing every single match. The Berlin fan zone also boasts the ‘world’s biggest fan pub’.
Munich
The Euro 2024 fan zone at the Olympiapark in Munich looks like a fantastic venue to watch the football and soak up some culture too.
The motto for this event is ‘Munich celebrates Europe’ and there are interactive experiences for all ages, live music and performances from local artists to enjoy, as well as different food stalls on offer.
As well as showing every game on a big screen at Olympic Lake, there are other activities such as live stand-up comedy and an open-air cinema.
Scotland fans took over this fan park for the tournament's opening match, when their team faced Germany at the Allianz Arena.
‘When you hear that noise from the Tartan Army boys, we’ll be coming down the road.’

Frankfurt
The Euro 2024 fan zone in Frankfurt is located in Mainufer, in a relaxing setting by the river. Here, fans can watch all 51 games at the tournament live on a giant screen with all the usual food and drink on offer.

Although this fan zone hasn't been quite as popular as the previous two on this list, it has been a fantastic venue nonetheless and almost every single supporter who has attended has enjoyed a positive experience. If you get the chance, it is certainly worth a visit.
Much fun was had watching England vs Denmark in a fan zone in Frankfurt

Cologne
Like Berlin, Cologne has two areas to enjoy. To meet with other fans, enjoy DJ sets and play football, you need to head to Heumarkt at 50667, which is open every day of the tournament. Matches will also be shown on big screens
This has been extremely popular among fans, with the combination of a large screen and thousands of supporters all in one space leading to some truly incredible scenes, such as the example in the photo below.
Otherwise, head to the Public Viewing Tanzbrunnen for a stunning backdrop of the river Rhine and the famous Cologne cathedral, but be aware that only matches played in Cologne, Germany matches and a few select other matches will be screened here.
Hamburg
Hamburg’s fan zone is at Heiligengeistfeld, 20359. This venue has a huge screen, live entertainment at a beach club and is open every day of the tournament.
Those features have combined beautifully throughout the tournament, particularly during days of good weather, when the sun adds an extra layer of beauty to the beach club.
That said, only matches played in Hamburg, Germany games and knockout matches have been shown at this location. Both the semi-finals and the final will also be shown.
Dortmund
Westfalenpark, one of the fan zones in Dortmund has the best open field for the public viewing & it is free of entrance!

There are two Euro 2024 fan zones in Dortmund. The first is at Friedensplatz and is family-friendly, with football activities and mini-tournaments, music, gaming, and screening of every match in the tournament. There are seats and shaded areas available at this location.
The second is the best place to head to if you’re looking for an atmosphere. Located at Westfalenpark close to the stadium itself, this Fan Zone has shown all games played in Dortmund, all Germany games and the Final.
England fans who don't have tickets for the upcoming semi-final against the Netherland will no doubt head here to watch the match.
Düsseldorf
Head to the Fan Zone Burgplatz to see screenings of the remaining three matches at Euro 2024. The Public Viewing Rheinufer is now fairly redundant as that fan zone was only showing Germany matches. However, it could re-open for the final.
Leipzig

Leipzig’s Augustusplatz is already a prominent meeting point in the city and at only 4km away from the stadium, it is ideally located for the tournament.
There is plenty of fun planned here, with a programme of music, sports and culture, a football pitch with a spectator grandstand, a Ferris wheel and child-friendly activities.
It has been open every day and will show all remaining matches at the tournament.
Gelsenkirchen
The Fan Zone Nordsternpark is now closed following Germany's elimination from the tournament. This fan zone was only showing Germany matches and matches played at the Schalke Stadium.
Stuttgart
There will be activities for fans across four different locations in Stuttgart. Marktplatz is the place for family-friendly activities, there’s live music at Karlsplatz, food and drinks at Schillerplatz and the public viewing of the matches at Schlossplatz.

Prices vary at each one based on demand but the average price for admission is around £20 (which includes a £10 food voucher).
