With the group stage draw taking place in Hamburg tomorrow, there seems no better time to launch this thread.
To the basics,
The tournament takes place in Germany from June 14th to July 14th, with the opening game in Munich's Allianz Arena nad the final in Berlin's Olympiastadion.
All matches in the UK will be shown on either the BBC or ITV, as is now always the case. As things stand, RTÉ will broadcast all matches in Ireland.
In a different approach to normal, no kick-off times for any matches (bar the opening game and final at 20:00 BST) have been confirmed ahead of the draw. This will presumably mean that the UK TV picks will be delayed for a few days whilst matches are allocated the best kick-off times by UEFA. I think it's safe to assume that matches will kick-off at 14:00, 17:00 and 20:00 UK time as was the case in 2016 and 2021.
The big broadcast headline so far is that no coverage will be filmed in UHD. A confusing and backwards step if this transpires.

Though, German broadcaster Magenta TV announced their coverage plans today, and they do say they will show every game in UHD. One would imagine this might only be upscaled to UHD, but it possibly indicates the reports earlier in the year were incorrect. Magenta will show five matches exclusively, with 34 games on ARD and ZDF, with 17 games on RTL who enter the German tournament rights equation.

To the draw itself. This will take place on Saturday at 18:00 CET / 17:00 BST from Hamburg. It will be shown live on UEFA.com, BBC Two and on ITV X. England (Pot 1) and Scotland (Pot 3) have already qualified, with Wales potentially still to qualify via the play-offs in March (the play-off winners in Pot 4).
The play-off draw from last week has given a likely preview of the intro and graphics for the upcoming tournament. Despite not being a colour asscoiated with Germany, two tones of blue were used in the on sceen graphics last week. Below is also a chance to the Euro 2008 music with the interim intro, before something new comes tomorrow.
