Pubs that can stay open till 11pm will be allowed to stay open for two more hours to watch England and Scotland 'hopefully bring it home', Home Secretary James Cleverly said.
Pubs will be able to extend their opening hours to 1am if England or Scotland make it to the Euro-2024 semi finals this summer. Venues will be allowed to stay open for an extra two hours on match days if either or both teams reach the last four or the final, the government said. Most pubs shut by 11pm, but under Section 172 of the Licensing Act 2003 ministers can make an order relaxing licensing hours to mark occasions of 'exceptional national significance'.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said that by 'cutting red tape, doing business will be that much easier'. She added: 'The beer and pub sector is set for a bumper summer of sport, so let's hope that England and Scotland make it not just through to the semi-finals but meet in the final itself, with pub goers able to cheer the teams on with a beer later into the night thanks to these new measures.
