The BBC have laid claim to England's first game of Euro 2024 as they take on Serbia in Group C.
Expectations for England have been set sky high since they reached the final of Euro 2020 but suffered a penalty shootout heartbreak as Italy claimed the crown, with many fans of the Three Lions feeling only lifting the trophy can be considered a success this summer. The BBC punditry team have been tasked with reflecting those hopes and dreams.
Serbia are meanwhile playing in their first Euros as a fully independent nation, despite going to three of the past World Cups since breaking off from Yugoslavia and then Serbia and Montenegro.

Who are the BBC commentators for Serbia vs England at Euro 2024?
Guy Mowbray will lead the commentary live from Gelsenkirchen for the game. The 52-year-old Yorkshireman's first major tournament was the 1998 World Cup, with Eurosport, followed by a spell at ITV that took in Euros 2000 and 2004 and the 2002 World Cup. He has been with the BBC and a regular on Match of the Day since 2004.
Sitting alongside him, microphone in hand, is Euro 96 golden boot winner Alan Shearer, who scored 30 goals in 63 appearances for England from 1992-2000 as well as winning the Premier League golden boot with three times while representing Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United.
Former England striker Gary Lineker hosts proceedings as usual from the studio, joined by former Manchester City and England full-back Micah Richards, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, and Euro 2008 and 2012 winner with Spain, Cesc Fabregas.
