The 2022 edition of the UEFA European Women’s Football Championship — aka the EURO — kicks off today with host country England facing Austria in Group A action at 2 pm CT. Originally scheduled to be played in summer 2021, this tournament was pushed back a year due to the pandemic.
The tournament features four groups of four teams each. The two best teams from each group will advance to the knockout round. This is the 13th edition of the UEFA continental championship, and the second to be hosted by England. The 2022 tournament marks just the second time for the women’s EURO to feature 16 teams.
