The channel will show live games from the 2013 Women's European Football Championship, held at Sweden's Arena Linkoping, between July 10-28, with additional coverage online and on Radio 5 live.
This is part of the BBC's commitment to women's football. On May 20 BBC Sport will show a preview show of the FA Women’s Cup Final on BBC Two as well as live coverage of the game on May 26.
BBC Director of Sport Barbara Slater commented: 'We are delighted to provide cross-platform coverage of this summer’s European Championship as well as Women’s football in general as the sport continues to grow in popularity.
