England retained the European title, delivering memorable moments and back-to-back championships. The Lionesses faced high pressure as defending champions and lost their opening group match to France before producing unpredictable chaos and brilliance. The broadcast team presented full tournament coverage to US audiences, where American fans showed strong passion and support for women's football. Fox Sports carried all 31 matches live, including 19 on the main free-to-air channel, marking the first English-language network broadcast of the Women's Euros in the US. Coverage set multiple viewership records, with the England-Spain final drawing more than 1.3 million viewers, while NWSL players boosted domestic interest.
The team gave us incredible memories this summer, and FFT wanted to know what it was like for me to present the coverage for Fox Sports in the US. The Lionesses began the tournament under huge pressure as defending champions, and to suffer defeat to France in their opening group stage fixture was just the beginning of the most unscripted chaos and brilliance that only sport can provide.
Being part of the broadcast team that brought that all to life for a US audience was real fun. Americans are passionate sports fans and also huge supporters of women's football. Covering the Euros for the same broadcasters that will host next summer's men's World Cup gave me just a taste of the excitement that will bring, with the tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico now less than a year away.
