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.
"Wetherspoon’s pubs will be showing all of the fixtures throughout June and July. So wherever your local is, you won’t miss out on the action."
England's first match will take place against Serbia on Sunday, 16 June at 8pm while Scotland will face the hosts Germany in 14 July's opening match at 8pm.

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.
