Wetherspoons is set to make a huge change to 788 of its pubs from next week.
The eternally popular and affordable pub chain currently has around 805 locations up and down the country. These pubs are a firm favourite amongst UK punters for years - and they're about to get even busier in the next few weeks.
Unless you've been living a rock, you'll be aware that Euro 2024 finally kicks off next Friday with Germany v Scotland, meaning that many of us will be looking for somewhere to watch the game while enjoying a pint.
Thankfully spoons are ahead of the game on this one, with the chain confirming that they will be screening all of the Euro 2024 games at 788 pubs - meaning that you won't have to break the bank on drinks to celebrate (or drown your sorrows) with.
Confirming the change in a press release on their website, the pub giant wrote: "Football fans can enjoy the Euro 2024 tournament live at Wetherspoon.

Meanwhile, England manager Gareth Southgate recently confirmed his final 26-man squad for the tournament as the Three Lions hope that this could finally be their year.
Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham have all made the squad - however Man City star Jack Grealish was a shock omission while Harry Maguire is out die to a calf injury.
