The BBC will show all of its live Euro 2008 coverage online to UK users and is the only British broadcaster to screen the final of the tournament.
Euro 2008 will not feature any of the home nations, but BBC director of sport Roger Mosey said he expected interest to remain high in the UK.
"We're confident many millions of people will enjoy the tournament on BBC television, radio and online," he said.
Coverage of Euro 2008 in the UK will be shared between the BBC and ITV.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all failed to qualify for the tournament, which will be jointly staged by Austria and Switzerland.
But with players from the Premier League and Scotland's SPL certain to feature, Mosey said the tournament was still a major draw for football fans.

"There'll be plenty of familiar faces and some great matches in prospect," he added.
The BBC will show the opening match of the tournament, between Switzerland and the Czech Republic at 1700 BST on 7 June with ITV broadcasting the later match between Portugal and Turkey at 1945 BST.
During the latter stage of the group phase, where matches are played simultaneously - games will be shown live on BBC One and BBCi and ITV1 and ITV channels.
The final will be shown live on BBC One on 29 June, with highlights on ITV1 later in the evening.
The BBC matches will also be available to viewers in HD.
