Oh what a night. James Crombie/INPHO

RTÉ or TV3? Here's where you can watch Ireland v France and the rest of the last 16 games

The schedule has been confirmed for this weekend’s games.

AS THE DUST settles on last night’s victory, attention will have already turned to Lyon for Martin O’Neill and his troops as they prepare to face France in the last 16.

Such is the nature of tournament football, there is little time to revel in the achievement of a famous win but instead keep the head firmly screwed on and focus on the next challenge.

That challenge comes in the form of the hosts, and pre-tournament favourites, in Lyon this Sunday in what will be Ireland’s first ever European Championship knockout fixture.

The excitement is already palpable as the tournament reaches the business end of proceedings with the next round of games beginning on Saturday.

Across three mouth-watering days of football, the cream of European football look to book their place in the quarter-finals and move one step closer to lifting the Henri Delaunay Trophy next month.

The schedule was confirmed last night and now we know where we can watch all eight last 16 ties.

TV3 will show three games, including Italy v Spain on Monday afternoon, while RTÉ will have live coverage of the big one on Sunday.

Harry Redknapp and Neil Lennon will join Tommy Martin for TV3′s coverage, which has reached over 2.6 million viewers so far.

Saturday 25 June

  • Switzerland v Poland, 2pm – RTÉ
  • Wales v Northern Ireland, 5pm – RTÉ
  • Croatia v Portugal, 8pm – TV3

Sunday 26 June

  • France v Ireland, 2pm – RTÉ
  • Germany v Slovakia, 5pm – RTÉ
  • Hungary v Belgium, 8pm – TV3

Monday 27 June

  • Italy v Spain, 5pm – TV3
  • England v Iceland, 8pm – RTÉ

    At the time, watching France crash out in the first round of World Cup 2010 was the karma I thought they deserved. I’m revising that opinion. COYBIG.

    I still remember flicking around the channels at half time during an Ireland game in the 2002 WC and TV3 were showing a repeat of a champions league game.

    At least they’re free.
    Graham Souness is excellent.
    Joey Barton was surprisingly intelligent.
    The picture is HD quality and the Player doesn’t stall.
    Aside from the host it’s OK.

    I noticed the nasty apres match on RTE last night trying to take a hand a TV3′s coverage by making out they were amateur with mocking them for having Souness and Lennon (who is on BBC anyway). At least they are making an effort by allowing everyone to watch different matches at *absolutely no cost* to anyone, compared with the millions RTE have to essentially show the exact same commentary as every single Ireland match for the last 30 years. Only difference is the makeup department has improved slightly to make them look like they are still have some blood in their cheeks.

    The loss of UTV to be replaced with UTV Ireland , is never more keenly felt than during an international football tournament.
    I feel bitter resentment at being forced to watch TV3′s sub-standard coverage.

    One of the greatest games ever played at the European Championships and there’s no mention of it.
