Telecoms giant BT<\/a> has kindly provided ISPreview with some internet traffic statistics from the first UEFA Euro 2024 football match between England and Serbia, which took place at 8pm on Sunday (16th June 2024), as well as the opening match between Germany and Scotland on Friday 14th (8:30pm).<\/p>\n

Matches that take place outside a traditional holiday period, and during normal working hours, tend to drive a larger increase in usage. The reason for this is that people often attempt to stream such content while at work via their Smartphones, rather than view it via a traditional TV broadcast. But the opposite is true when outside of working hours, since people are more likely to tune-in via a traditional living room TV and terrestrial signal.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that most of the ISPs we’ve spoken with only saw a small increase in overall usage from the aforementioned UEFA Euro 2024<\/strong> matches, which is unsurprising as they both occurred while most people were at home. But the latest data from BT<\/a>’s fixed broadband network still manages to include some interesting stats.<\/p>\n

The data below shows the impact that both matches had on BT<\/a>’s UK network, as well as the number of fans who streamed the match live, how much data was streamed at the time of both matches and in what parts of the UK.<\/p>\n
