Am I right in thinking the EBU has picked up the rights so it should be on the BBC (BT had the 2015/19 events, not to be confused with the European Sport Championships on tge BBC in 2018/22)

Think it avoids Wimbledon but would clash with Queens.
Not quite sure what the status of the European Games are. You are correct that last year the EOC agreed a deal with the EBU back in August to be "the host broadcaster of the 2023 and 2027 events" and to provide FTA coverage, but then the second article I found is from March which sounds like Mediapro have been announced as host broadcaster. I haven't heard any mention of BBC coverage anywhere and France tv are not mentioning it as part of their sporting coverage over the summer, and I'd expect them to cover it if the rights are available (and it only clashes with the opening weekend of the Tour de France).
