BRITS will unleash a ­£3billion spending frenzy this weekend as Euro 2020 kicks off in a 30C heatwave.

Fans will down 50million pints — half in pubs, half at home — and munch through 30million burgers and 20million sausages.

Experts say five million pizzas and ten million packets of crisps will be polished off as fans watch matches

Around 15million will tune in to the BBC tomorrow for England v Croatia at 2pm, the highest TV audience for sport since the 2018 World Cup.

Three Lions games will be shown on a big screen for 750 key workers in Trafalgar Square.

Similar all-ticket events will take place in Birmingham and Manchester.

Millions will also see Wales play Switzerland at 2pm today, also on the Beeb.

VoucherCodes.co.uk and the Centre for Retail Research reckon £300million will be spent in pubs and restaurants.

A massive £2.7billion will be spent in shops in the hot weather.

The Centre for Economics and Business Research said: “With England looking poised for a good run and glorious weather, it looks like a buoyant period for the UK economy.”

Greggs is offering free sausage rolls after all 11 Euro matches in the UK.

Customers making £5-plus orders can use Just Eat to get one the day after a game if a goal was scored.
