BT Sport will broadcast the inaugural European Games in June.

BT Sport will broadcast the inaugural European Games between June 12 and 28.

The European Games will be the continent's first ever multi-sport event, with 50 countries competing across 13 sports and 19 disciplines.

The event will be hosted in Baku, Azerbaijan and Team GB will bring a contingent of 163 athletes competing across 13 disciplines.

British boxing gold medallist Nicola Adams will be amongst the British contingent in Baku.

"It will be great to compete again in the Team GB vest and I am really looking forward to the European Games," Adams told BT Sport.

"I have a very good track record in multi-sports events and I hope this will be another enjoyable experience and useful preparation for the Olympics in Rio next year."

Cycling, swimming, boxing and gymnastics will be included within a large programme of sport at the European Games.
