England's Provisional Squad for Euro 2024 Revealed: Key Fixtures, Schedule, and Potential Route to the Final

Jordan Henderson has been left out of England's provisional squad for Euro 2024, with the uncapped Jarrad Branthwaite, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah and Adam Wharton all included.

England boss Gareth Southgate will name an extended training squad at 2pm on Tuesday ahead of the tournament starting on June 14.

The Three Lions boss has to cut that squad to a maximum of 26 players by 11pm on June 7, the same day as England's final friendly match before the tournament against Iceland.

• Euro 2024 fixtures in full
• Euro 2024 kits - who's wearing what?

Among the names not named in the provisional squad are Chelsea trio Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling and Reece James.

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, meanwhile, have been named in the squad.

England's Euro 2024 schedule

Southgate's side face a replay of their Euro 2020 semi-final against the Danes in Group C, having won 2-1 after extra-time in July 2021 before eventually losing to Italy in the final.

England's first game on Sunday June 16 sees them travel to Gelsenkirchen to take on Serbia, who finished second in qualifying Group G behind Hungary, and who they have not faced since their split with Montenegro in 2006.

They then take on Denmark four days later in Frankfurt before rounding off their group on Tuesday June 25 in Cologne against Slovenia, who they previously beat in a must-win final group game at World Cup 2010 to reach the knockout stages.

Here are England's Euro 2024 fixtures, as well as their potential route through the knockout stages...
