Transparency note: The star is part of RTL Germany.
- Fans in Denmark hoping to watch the Quarterfinals of the European Football Championship may tune into ZDF, as they will be airing the match between Germany and Denmark at 9:00 PM.
- In addition to traditional TV broadcasters, all matches, including the RTL-broadcasted Switzerland vs Italy game and the MagentaTV-exclusive Austria vs Turkey match, can be viewed via pay-per-view provider MagentaTV.
- German television channel ZDF will not only broadcast the Germany vs Denmark quarterfinal match but also the preceding Spain vs Georgia match during the European Football Championship, showcasing their commitment to European football.
- Despite ZDF and ARD's extensive coverage of the European Football Championship, including Germany's matches, the Quarterfinal between Austria and Turkey will only be available on MagentaTV, potentially causing controversy among critics and fans.
