Euro 2020 and Covid: How can I watch with my friends?

England will return to Wembley Stadium to face Italy in the Euro 2020 final on Sunday evening at 20:00 BST.

Fans will be watching in pubs, on the streets and at home, as well as at Wembley Stadium - but guidance and rules remain in place to stop the spread of Covid.

About 60,000 fans will be admitted to Wembley for the game - 75% of the stadium's capacity.

Ticket-holders aged 11 or over need to prove they are fully vaccinated via the NHS app, with both doses received at least 14 days beforehand.

Those not fully vaccinated must show proof of a negative lateral flow test from the previous 48 hours.

It's part of the government's Events Research Programme, which is tracking Covid transmission at large events. This also includes Wimbledon, which will have a full-capacity crowd for its singles finals.

Fans need to wear face coverings when they are in indoor areas of the stadium, but can remove them when they reach their seats.

Ahead of the quarter finals, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said that Uefa's decision to allow large crowds at some of the games was "utterly irresponsible", given the high rates of Covid.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has defended opening up Wembley to 60,000 fans. He told the Financial Times he was "confident" that "people aren't taking the virus with them to the stadium".

Either way, the vast majority of fans will be watching on TV.

Up to six people from six households (or two households of any size) can meet in a pub in England, or 30 in a pub garden. Different groups must not mix.

Pubs have been given a lot of guidance by industry bodies in order to ensure Covid-safety, including:

Pubs will be allowed to stay open until 23:15 BST for Sunday's final.

Licensing laws in England and Wales are to be relaxed to allow an extra 45 minutes, in case the final goes to extra time and penalties.

Social distancing guidelines should be followed and face coverings worn in pubs when not sitting down.

In England, people can use "personal judgement" about whether to hug close friends or family.

If you're inside, you should keep rooms well-ventilated, maintain social distancing and wash your hands regularly.

Up to six people from multiple houses in England (or two households of any size) can gather inside - up to 30 outdoors.

Social distancing guidance and rules on gatherings differ across the UK:

What are the rules where you live?

The official Uefa fan zone in England is at Trafalgar Square in London.

Five hundred pairs of free tickets are allocated via ballot per match.

Social distancing must be followed. No proof of test or quarantine is required, but fans need to check in via the NHS Test and Trace app.

There are also special areas for fans to watch matches in other cities including Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow.

Both the BBC and ITV are broadcasting the final.

It will also available be on Radio 5 Live, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
