All eyes on Vichy for Euros 2026

England’s teams return to Parc Omnisport du Vichy next week for the 2026 European Touch Championships.

This is the first Euros in three years, following the Federation of International Touch’s refinement of the international competition programme. England had an extremely successful 2025, dominating both the Opens and Seniors/Masters European Touch Cups.

Vichy is also familiar stomping ground, even for the squads’ young players, as the Parc Omnisport hosted the 2022 Youth Euros as well as the 2023 Euros.

The action gets underway on Tuesday evening, following the opening ceremony, with the competitions starting in earnest on Wednesday morning.

Live streaming is via the FIT YouTube channel, with coverage being produced by NextGenSport (who also produce the Nationals, National Touch Series and Touch World Cup 2024).
