The first week's coverage details has started to emerge from the BBC and ITV.

For the BBC, Mark Chapman presents quite a bit over the first week, which is nice to see, with Gabby Logan seemingly arriving late on the first Wednesday. She does present Scotland's second game though, with Gary Lineker hosting the lower profile Germany v. Hungary match earlier in the day. Alex Scott is only on the highlights show thus far, though this was what the press release said would happen.
Alan Shearer is the named co-commentator for both England games in the first week. Steve Bower is named commentator for the network coverage of Scotland v. Switzerland.

The ITV Programme Information reveals that Joleon Lescott and Gaël Clichy are additions to what was originally announced of their punditry line-up. Lescott was a part of the ITV team on FA Cup final day, so not a massive shock that he is an addition. Sam Matterface covers the opening game, featuring Scotland. It will be a bit of novelty to hear Scotland games not covered by a Scottish lead voice this tournament. Pien Meulensteen's prominence in the first week jumps out for me.
