VAR at Euro 2020  Like in the Premier League, VAR will be used at the Euros to make judgements on key incidents in matches such as penalties, goals and red cards. The remote officials will be based at UEFAs headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland and will have a direct communication with the match referee and officials for any given match. UEFA have two rooms set up in Nyon to review the action meaning different games played at the same time will still be given full attention. Every game will have a VAR referee despite multiple cities and stadiums being used in the tournament. There will also be an assistant VAR referee and an offside video referee who focus on specific incidents.
